Note that when Acrosync is installed for all users and/or as a service, all profiles are saved under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key rather than HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
So how do we copy over the existing profiles? I installed it as a service and when I start it none of profiles are there. I'd rather not have to recreate them as I'm sure everyone else does also.
I'm having a tough time getting it working as a service. I copied over the profiles I wanted. When I start the GUI it shows the profiles but they are not active even though I selected that the profile should be started at logon. I start the profiles and exit the GUI the GUI stays running and I have to right click and select quit. When I start the GUI again the profiles still do not show as active.
So there are two issues.
1) Exiting GUI when running as a service does not actual end the GUI and restart the service.
To check the service status, run services.msc in the Run dialog.
If you install it correctly, you will see a service called AcrosyncClient. The status should be 'Started' before you run Acrosync.
When you start Acrosync with administrator rights, it will first pause the service. You can add/modify profiles, or even start profiles, but these are all independent of the service in the background (which is not running at this time). The service will be resumed once Acrosync exits.
The service will only run profiles with both the scheduler and the auto start on logon option enabled.
Ok it is working but there should be some indication of which profiles are active.
There is still the issue that when I exit the GUI the GUI doesn't go away. It becomes a hidden icon in the notification area. I have to right click on it and select quit.
When you close the Acrosync main window, it will just go 'minimized'. This is intentional -- Acrosync is designed to run in the background without intervention so you don't want to accidentally terminate the program when you only mean to close the window.
Ok but there is no need to keep the main window minimized when it is running as a service. It doesn't need to be running in the background since it is running as a service.

In the User Guide it says
