Win32api.MessageBox

[Unkwntech]

When I use win32api.Messag eBox from the interactive console from an
app that runs at the command line, it works and displays my alert just
fine however when I use it in a service that I built I can hear the
'beep' but the alert does not show and the program seems to stall
waiting for the alert to close, how can I have the alert show so that
the user can see what it says and press the button?

I'm by no mean a Win32 expert, but IIRC, Windows 'services' (IOW :
daemons) are not suppose to directly interact with the user. Now you'd
better not take me on words on this...

It's an option when you install the service. By default services will run
under the 'local system' account and have no access to the desktop. You can
either give the service permission to interact with the desktop from the
service properties (or specify --interactive if installing it with
win32serviceuti l).
