Interactive Services Detection
Tomcat 64-bit is running on Windows 2008 Server. I have an application
that is using Apache + Tomcat 6.0.30 and the application seems to be
running fine.
The popup error is from Interactive Services Detection with the message
that tomcat6.exe is requesting attention.
In the Tomcat properties, I have Log on as Local System account and the
Allow service to interact with desktop is checked.
If I disable the service, I would just be ignoring the problem and not
fixing it.
Is this an unhandled exception of some kind? Can someone help me fix
this?
v/r
Montreal

André and David,
Unchecking 'Allow service to interact with desktop' fixed the issue.
Problem solved ... thanks very much!

I don't know if services are definitely not allowed to interact with the desktop.
The following link seems to contradict this somewhat :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683502%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
(It warns you of dire consequences if you do it, but it doesn't say that you can't).
But, in any case, the Tomcat service does not /need/ to interact with the desktop, so having that checkbox checked is unnecessary.
The fact that the "Interactive Services Detection" thing pops up a dialog, my be due to the fact that :
1) the checkbox is checked (causing Windows to allocate a console to Tomcat)
2) something within Tomcat writes to STDOUT or STDERR (which would normally be redirected to the console, if you were running Tomcat in a console, which you are not anyway).
So uncheck the checkbox.
If Tomcat has anything important to say, it will write it to its logfiles.
If the "service wrapper" (tomcat7.exe) has something important to say, it will write it to the logfiles or to the Windows Event Logs.

Windows Vista, 7, Server 2008 and Servere 2008 R2 do not allow services
to interact with the desktop whether that option is checked or not.
Uncheck that, and this warning will likely go away. If you need the
service to interact with the user/desktop, then you're going to have to
find an alternate solution.

Any more detail than that? It's a bit tricky to know what's happened
without any more information.
[Montreal] The error message is from Interactive Services Detection. I
receive the popup when I start the server. The messaged does not tell me
anything else other than:
"Program(s) or device(s) requesting attention. Message title:
<path>apache-tomcat-6.0.30\bin\tomcat6.exe. ... This problem occurs when
a program is not fully compatible with Windows. Please contact the
program or device manufacture(s) for more information."

Disable which service? The Tomcat one?
[Montreal] Disable the Interactive Services Detection. The best info I
found was on an MSDN blog here:

ractive-services-detection.aspx

There are a number of log files in the 'logs' directory of your Tomcat
installation. Have a look in each file for additional information and
report back.
[Montreal] All logs appear to be fine and I do not see an indication of
