Well for starters wll you need to do is create a Windows Service project and
add a reference to thte COM component (which will generate the Runtime
Callable Wrapper - RCW) for the COM component. Are all the COM interfaces
marshalled via the typelib marshaller?

In both cases it means that the tools will get their definitions from the
typelibrary that descibes them and build the appropriate wrapper classes for
you which means your life from a build perspective should be
straightforward. There are numerous issues with COM Interop in some of the
darker corners however. Which of these are relevant to you depends on the
kind of thing you are doing with the COM components.
