DescriptionThe P4DTI is able to run as a Windows Service, using some of the Win32 extensions to Python. These extensions have changed in Python 2.4, in such a way that the P4DTI Windows Service cannot be started.
Analysiswin32serviceutil.HandleCommandLine no longer copes with more than one argument, so can't be used to start the service as we pass parameters such as the config file name as arguments (--p4dti-config, etc). We can use win32serviceutil.StartService directly. However, that doesn't completely fix the problem as there is also a change in the way in which arguments are passed, with the effect being that the config file is not properly picked up.
