hello everyone

i have a huge problem developing a windows service
i'm trying to develop some app that reads information from WMI and sends it via amqp (using apache qpid client)

everything works fine on windows xp, but problems appear on vista:
when i start the program i get an insant error 1053, and not even one line of code runs (i tried writing some output in a file, that doesn't execute)
the ONLY way it runs as a service, is if i set it to login (services > testService > logon > user/pass) with my user (and not with localsystem)
i did further testing and got out that it ONLY runs with a logged user (if i set it to run with user2/pass2, and he's not logged on pc it won't start, if i do switch user and login with user2, and come back to my user with switch user, then start the service , it works)
so if i set it to automatic and restart the computer it won't start even if it's set with my logged user because services start before the login of users.

here's what i tried:

if you look through the code you'll see an ifndef there that disables the wmi execution. if i disable it, it works (with running qpid)

same goes with qpid, if i dont include qpid and leave only wmi, it also works

all the dll's are in place, the boost library dll's, the qpid dll's are in the executable's folder

if i

i'm out of ideas
here's the code
WMI.cpp

to even simplify the problem, i get the same error if i delete the WMI.h file, and add to the main.cpp an #include <comdef.h> and in the service main function, before the sleep part

try {
			Connection connection;
			connection.open(
						"10.10.5.51",
						5672,
						"user",
						"pass"
			);
		} catch(...) {
			
		}

		HRESULT hres;
		hres = CoInitializeEx(0, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);
