Outlook Service don't run. but the code runs fine in a console app

[Entvex]

HI

I am working on an application that searches other peoples calendar
and
saves the data for later use.

I wrote the application as a console application and it works just
fine. but
now I have converted it into a windows service. it builds and installs
fine
but it don't seem to run.

when I debug my service it never get to the tick event from the timer

any ideas ?

Greetings

This uses the Outlook object model in the service?

If so you need to re-think your architecture, using the Outlook object model
is not supported in a service.

Yes I am using OOM. Is there any other way to access other peoples
calendars can read them.
and allow the code to run as a windows service

Sure. You can use CDO (server side so no security, not supported for managed
code), Extended MAPI (C++ or Delphi only) or a MAPI COM wrapper such as
Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption).
