Easy NT Service (updated April 9)

Updated on April 9. Added the ocx and dll. You can run install.bat which will rename and register these. This is probably the easiest way to create your own true NT service. Just look at the testService project. This has all the code you need. Instructions: Before opening the testService project you first need to compile cwService and vaService. The cwService.ocx is written in Visual C. If you do not have Visual C then you can rename cwService_ocx to cwService.ocx. Don't forget to use regsvr32 to register this ocx and dll. If you want to see how it works, then try this: Open the task scheduler (to see what is hapening) Start the executable. Install the service with Desktop interaction enabled. Also look what happens if you start the executable twice. If you look at the services (in computer management) then you must be aware that it needs a refresh for showing an changed state. --------------------------------------------------If you want a valuable developers tool/library then look at http://siteskinner.com This will give you a library with some great objects that you can use.
