<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on a Windows (for now) based project using D-Bus and I’m hoping someone will be able to clarify the following points for me:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>Is D-Bus activation supported on the Windows platform? If so, how does one set this up?<br>
<br>
I have created the .service file, but I’m not sure where this needs to be placed. I’m assuming that the XML interface description will also have to be available to the daemon somewhere, is this correct?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]>In the event that a service provider crashes, is the following assumption of behaviour correct?<br>
<br>
Any undelivered message will cause an error to be returned to the sender. Assuming the service is setup for D-Bus activation, the next message shall cause the daemon to reactivate the service. If D-Bus activation is not configured, errors shall continue to
be reported upon message attempts until the service is restarted manually.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for all your hard work on D-Bus, it’s a wonderful IPC mechanism!<o:p></o:p></p>
