Hi Guys,
I'm working on an application that monitors an IVR system's up time. I figured what better solution than sticking Skype on a box with a service that calls into the IVR runs some voice recognition and logs the results. Well, it's all working except for the service part. I can run the application as a windows desktop app and it runs just fine. But if I attempt to run it as a service I get a wait timeout error. The stack points to: SKYPE4COMLib.SkypeClass.get_CurrentUserStatus() but the line that actually threw the error is: If Not oSkype.Client.IsRunning Then oSkype.Client.Start(True, True)

Thoughts?

Is BOTH the Skype client and your software running as a windows service?

Interesting, I wasn't aware that there was a service option for Skype, I'll have to run through the install package again and see if I missed that option. Thanks!

There is not, but...there are ways to make it a service.

Hey thanks! That got Skype up and running as a service, but I am still getting that timeout error. It looks like the code is still trying to create a new client instead of using the one that is already running. Any idea on how to get a reference to the existing client?

Bah, simple fix, I forgot to set my service to interact with the desktop. Once I made sure both my service and the Skype service had that option checked, it worked!

Thanks again!

You are very welcome.
