You may want to save yourself from reinventing the wheel by using the SvCom
package which provides support for NT Services including DCOM servers. It
will handle all of the registry stuff for you, and the best thing is that it
allows you to debug a service application just like a normal executable!!!

SvCom has saved me a lot of time and only costs $39 to register.
