I have a application that I would like to have run as a service in Windows XP. I have use the following line: "application.exe -install <computer name>\administrator <password>" and it looks like it has installed but when I go to services it does not appear in the services list. I've looked at the vent logs and it shows nothing. Please advise.
 
You can use srvany from the resource kit to wrapper well
behaved applications as services. You should never make
an application a service if it has any user interface, and even
many that do not can potentially destabalize the system when
run as a service depending on what they do.

Why do you want this running as a service ??
 
No, it does NOT. You either use SRVANY.EXE or INSTSRV.EXE - the utilities
are a part of the resource kits for NT/Win2k server. Win2K3 also something
called AutoExNT.
 
You can use a program as Service+ from Nicoware. It will run your
application as a service.

It has a very nice GUI. You don't have to be an expert to use it. We
are using it on our servers and workstations for a variety of
applications.

You can download a full functional evaluation version from
