Answer 1

I've wrapped my WCF in a Windows Service. Creating the Desktop Folders did solve it for me on one machine, but not on another.

My problem in the end was, that my Windows Service did not run under an active User of the machine. Configuring the service to run under a user which is active on the machine solved this problem for me so far.

Only the combination of

• Existing Desktop Folder
• Service running under a real user Account

got it working for me.
