If you run the console as a service, does it make a new cfg? I was running it as a service on one machine that I never touch, and came to find out it didn't have my username/team id going. And it completed a wu just before I noticed this :(

Honestly, I have no idea. I never used F@H as a service. But I'm sure some of the other folks can answer that question easily.

Eh, I got the service to run under my username and team now. Stopped it, ran configonly, put in the stuff, restarted and it seems to be going right now. Dang, wish I would had gotten that wu.

No, installing the CLI as a service does not cause it to make a new config.

That's something that's happened to most of us (at least those who run on more than one system). It sucks, but at least you caught it after one WU, instead of finding the problem after a few weeks!
