Start up from PadConnector

When using the PadConnector Setup, a Service for the Startup of the PadConnector will be installed. But in a multi-user environment we have to start it inside the user-session, because only there is the device available. For that the PadConnector\run\PadConnectorConsole.exe can be used. With the exec from the same folder you can start it without the visible console.

"c:\…\PadConnector\run\exec.exe" "c:\…\PadConnector\run\PadConnectorConsole.exe"

Add this to your login script for all users which should use the padconnector.
