I installed yesterday's 6.3 nightly as a clean install after removing my
6.2.2 install and deleting the entire directory to remove any leftover
stuff the un-installer hadn't taken care of.

Everything seemed to work fine until today, when the service had
stopped and Windows was not able to re-start it.

The Windows event log had this entry a couple of times 

"
The following information is part of the event: OpenService failed: The
specified service does not exist as an installed service
"


I wonder does the un-installer not clean up the service control manager
entries correctly so that the new install doesn't set up correctly. Just
a guess. Maybe a reboot was required.

Anyway, I then couldn't figure out the cmd line switch to install 
Slim.exe as a service. The only switch missing from the cmd line
listing must be --install. I entually found it in the FAQ, but when I
ran the command I got an error

C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server>slim --install
CreateService failed: The specified service already exists

Weird.

Anyway, it might be worth adding --install to the listing --help
prints.
