Maybe it should be mentioned in a separate thread, as it's not Windows specific and there's probably lots of users that would not read this message because it's mostly for Windows.

Where it makes sense, we should allow for automated delivery and install. Where it makes sense, we should provide the human installer with as much information as possible "should things go wrong".

It makes the automated upgrade easier.
Also, if I'm experimenting or debugging, I can use the Start Menu item
to reset the service when I have completed the experiment or debug session.

It isn't too important, just that a Windows GUI application should not require
a standard input/output/error existing for the application.
If you wanted to check, popup a dialog if (fileno(stderr) < 0) is true...
Invoke your test program from command prompt window
Invoke your test program from a desktop shortcut
Please see patch 1030913 and tell me what you think.
With the patch, the installer can use the -quiet option to prevent any Windows pop-ups when unregistering the agent during an uninstall. It also sets the DOS errorlevel after (un)registering, which can be used in batch files if needed.
Now there is an idea. That could work for installs also. I am not sitting in front of a Windows machine to test the patch, but it sounds reasonable.
I noticed that the event log code also outputs to the console, which is where the 'Net-SNMP Trap Handler - Successfully registered as Service' message comes from. It only outputs to the console when it is NOT running as a service. When I run snmptrapd under Linux with -f (don't fork), it does not output messages to the console. It only logs to syslog. So, why does the WriteToEventLog() function log to the screen?
If we agree to remove logging to the screen in WriteToEventLog, I can update the patch and add calls to DisplayError below the WriteToEventLog calls so it is consistent.

I am not sure why it was written that way. IMO you are correct and it should only write to the event log.
