Hi There,
I have deadline installed on about 100 windows 7 x64 bt render nodes. Currently I have deadline running as a service. When i try to launch the Deadline Monitor nothing seems to open…
when I stop the service that is running and launch the monitor it opens…
Does monitor not launch when running deadline as a service?
Thanks!

You have to do a bit of a work-around. I assume you’re launching from the start menu? The start menu link attempts to use the launcher to launch the monitor (which won’t work as a service). If you want to run the launcher as a service but the monitor in a GUI session you should browse to the \program files\thinkbox folder and create a new shortcut to the monitor.exe.
This is actually a bug. Even when using the start menu, the Monitor is still supposed to launch when the Launcher is running as a service. This should be fixed in beta 16.
Cheers,
