Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1597

What happened?

Trying to start the Barrier service, the service starts and stops immediately.

The event viewer has the following message "Bad service type in ._barrierServerZeroconf._tcp.local. Application protocol name must be underscore plus 1-15 characters. See http://www.dns-sd.org/ServiceTypes.html"

The equivalent Synergy issue https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/issues/4991 notes that this is a result of the service name being too long.

In fc045fc793/src/gui/src/ZeroconfService.cpp (L43) it appears the service name is set without the .local., but I'm not sure where that's coming from
