Could not start QuickBooks (from Service)

I have created a DLL that calls into QBFC13. It works just fine in the development environments I'm working with. (VS10 and a lite version embedded in an application.) However, when my DLL is called from a Service running on that machine, I'm getting a (0x80040408): Could not start QuickBooks when my DLL then attempts to open QB via the API.

I using an application name that has full access in QB in the OpenConnection line, and the path to the file is correct. C:\Users\Public\Documents\Intuit\QuickBooks\Company Files

Looking in the forums, I don't see anything that corresponds to this scenario, so I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight.

QuickBooks integrations do not work when running as a Windows service.

This is a well known, long standing, and unlikely to be fixed by Intuit issue.
