How to Install TWedge 2.x as Windows Service?

We recommend upgrading to TWedge V3 which already includes a system service. If that is not possible, you can proceed as described below.
  1. This legacy procedure requires the Windows Resource Toolkit utilities Instsrv.exe and Srvany.exe. The former download page is no longer available; see Microsoft’s instructions for creating a user-defined service.
  2. Open the Command Line (Start -> Run -> “cmd”), go to the installation directory of the Windows Resource Toolkit and enter the following command:
    Instsrv TWedge "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\srvany.exe".
    Command Line: Installation of Windows Resource Toolkit
  3. Open the registry editor (Start -> Run -> “regedit”) and look for the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TWedge.
    Registry Editor: TWedge Registry Key
  4. Now add a "Parameters" key with a value called "Application". It contains the path to the executable of TWedge (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\TEC-IT\TWedge2\Bin\TWedge.exe C:\TWedge.twi). The twedge.twi file opens TWedge with the predefined settings!
    5. Registry Editor: Add new key Parameters
  5. Open the properties of the new TWedge service which you can find in the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services.
  6. Go to the “Log On” tab and make assure that the checkbox “Allow service to Interact with desktop” is activated.
    Services: TWedge Properties
  7. Run the TWedge service.

Make every label, code and scan work the first time.
