Creating a New Project
5. Type the name of the user account under which you want the service to run.
6. Click OK.
Giving the User Account Full Control Over the Project Folder
For your IWS project to run properly, the specified user account must have full control over the project folder
and all of the files in it. To give the account those privileges:
1. In Windows Explorer, locate your IWS project folder (i.e., the folder that contains the file
projectname.APP).
2. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
3. In the properties sheet, click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
4. In the Permissions dialog box, click Add, and then add the user account that you specified when you
created the service.
5. Select the user that you added, and then in the list of permissions, set Full Control to Allow.
6. Click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog, and then click OK again to close the properties sheet.
Allowing the User Account to Run the OPC Client/Server Module
As mentioned previously, normal users have too few privileges to properly run the OPC Client/Server module.
Therefore, you must configure the user account to have those privileges:
1. Open the Component Services console (Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Component
Services).
2. In the console window, select the DCOM Config folder (Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer
> DCOM Config).
3. In the DCOM Config pane, right-click Studio Scada OPC Server, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.
4. In the properties sheet, click the Identity tab.
5. Select This user and then complete the fields with the same username and password that you specified
when you created the service.
6. Click OK to apply your changes and close the properties sheet.
7. Close the Component Services console.
Troubleshooting
When you run your IWS project as a Windows service, it has no user interface. Therefore, if an error occurs,
it will only be logged as a Windows application event. You can check the messages by using the Event Viewer
console (Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer).
