Message (Error)

This package contains a service (name [1]), which starts at boot time. Virtualized services are limited to the lifetime of the virtual application so services that must start at boot time do not make good candidates for virtualization. It may be possible to extract this service such that it can be installed locally on the machine and allow the rest of the package to be virtualized.

[1] is the name of a service in the project.

Description

ISVICE15 checks for the presence of boot start services.

Corrective Action

Evaluate how important the service is to the product so that you can determine if it matters whether the product behaves as intended. If the service is unimportant, it is probably safe to deploy a virtualized version of the product with slightly reduced functionality.

If the service is important but you can separate it from the rest of the project, remove it from the project, and create a separate installation for the service. End users can then install the service locally to their machines before using a virtualized version of your product.

If the service is important but you cannot separate it from the rest of the project, a virtualized version of the product may not function well.
