Exception when trying to use as a service about cloudflare-ddns-updater HOT 11 OPEN

I was experiencing the same problem and was about to confirm it, I then found a solution of formatting the username as .\username rather than just username
Once I did that the service installed successfully.

I'll investigate.
Does this happen immediately after starting the service, or after a while?

from cloudflare-ddns-updater.

It happens immediately.

I'm struggling to reproduce this.
Can you please confirm how the service was installed, and that the GUI shows the correct configuration?

from cloudflare-ddns-updater.

I am also experiencing this. Windows 7 x64. You try to install the service and it crashes immediately.

I still haven't been able to reproduce this.
Does the GUI show the correct configuration and work fine?

When installing the service, what account did you install it as?

from cloudflare-ddns-updater.

The GUI works perfectly. When it prompts for the user account I entered my user account? I had never seen that prompt before so I'm just guessing.

OK, that's fine.
Could you please try the vTest binary on the releases page. It is the same as the stable release, with additional debugging support. It will generate a rather large memory dump file when it crashes.

If you could upload that memory dump and link me to it - it would be appreciated.

I have just seen that version now. I've archived the dump and put it on my drive.

Thanks for that.
Are you sure that you was running "CloudFlareDDNS.exe /install" from an Administrator command prompt? (Start -> Command Prompt -> Right Click -> Run as Administrator).

I have looked at the memory dump, and have reproduced a crash, when running from a standard prompt.

from cloudflare-ddns-updater.

Yes I am running the command prompt as an administrator.
