Hi, I got a error message as I try to use mutex in windows service with
other application.
I start the mutex when the windows service start, the mutex is released by
the service only after some work. I try to require this mutex in some other
application and force them to wait till the service release the mutex.
However I got a "Access is denied" everytime I try to create the mutex in
the application.

Is there any other way to handle this problem?
Thanks!
 
The Windows Service should run in the same security context as the other
application (same credentials).

Willy.
