Install as service

[autoitxp]

Hi

I would like to ask is there any clean way to install auto-it application as service currently i have tried to use ServiceEx.exe this install service successfully but when it start and run in process nothing happens never works properly as it made to work

I have only had a small amount of experience with installing applications as services. The one thing I found out is that programs with GUI interfaces don't work as services because many services run before you log in to the computer, thus before any GUI interfaces can not be created.

What kind of tasks is the script trying to accomplish?

It should be noted that "new Windows versions" only accounts for up to Windows XP. It does not natively work on WIn7 and above, or Server 2008 and above. There are some hacks floating around technet to get srvany to work on these Operating Systems, but the best bet for these is probably sc.exe.

This code for cmd works well in windows 7..

SC Create "service name" binPath= @scriptfullpath start= auto

type SC Create /? for a list of all uses, to parse a parameter you need to have it set out like this with the space

parameter= data

eg: binPath= C:windowsexplorer.exe
