Home.Service.Windows/Legacy - Client

Additional Information

Home.Service.Windows has a #LEGACY-Compiler flag which replaces HttpClient with System.Web-Namespaces. This is due to the fact that I had some issues with Windows 7 x86-Systems with .NET Core 8.0.x Desktop, because HttpClient threw a TimeoutException (previously on .NET Framework 4.8 everything worked fine!). But on one of my devices this issue still exists even with the Legacy-Flag.

Setup

  1. Download and install the setup
  2. Follow the instructions onscreen and click "Initialize"

Home.Service.Windows-Screenshot

For Autostart (as admin) you need to add this .vbs-file to shell:startup:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell" ) 
WshShell.Run """C:\Program Files (x86)\Home.Service.Windows\Home.Service.Windows.exe""", 0 'Must quote command if it has spaces; must escape quotes
Set WshShell = Nothing

or check Setup Autostart in the dialog!

Home.Service.Legacy

  1. Download and extract all files
  2. Open Home.Service.Legacy.exe and follow the instructions!
  3. Copy a link to the executable file to shell:startup (to enable autostart)
