Greetings. How can I make Web Connexion run automatically when Windows boot and waiting for *.wcs page requests for example? I have compiled launch.prg of the wcDemoMain demo into an EXE but a user has to be logged in and run the EXE to be able to make requests to *.wcs pages that are in the c:\wconnect\web folder

You should be running your servers as COM objects and they will auto-launch. File based servers can also be launched automatically via the AutoStartServers configuration flag. File based however will not guarantee that servers stay up and running if they crash - COM based does.

I recommend you take a look at this long paper on Web Connection deployment that discusses some of these and many other issues:

Web Connection Deployment

Also the documentation has lots of details:

Deploying your Web Connection Applications
