Hello,
A little annoyance:
Under Windows 7, 64 bits ultimate, PE 15.3, I use and update a service. For this reason, I have to stop and delete the service after compiling a new version. On this computer, I get an error message saying that the service has been marked for deletion and the only solution I'd found was a reboot.
After some tests, I've found that PE 64 bits, the first time I install the service, displays is as an empty line (no icon, no strings). At this moment, I can delete the service without error. If y reinstall the service, the line gets displayes with icon and strings. And, thereafter, I can't delete the service anymore. If I quit PE, everything works as advertised. Therefore, I think that PE 64 bits holds an handle on my service and doesn't close it after loading the icon and the strings.
My solution is now to stop PE when I want to delete the service and I don't have to reboot anymore. But this little annoyance could probably be fixed.
