That's exactly what it's supposed to do. The program that runs as a
service is srvany.exe ("Serve Any"). It's a wrapper that is used to
run other programs as Windows services. Normally, in order for a
program to run as a service it has to be designed to do so.
So you install this little wrapper program that in turn runs your
desired program. That's what the 'Parameters' key in the registry is
for. It tells srvany what program to run. When the service is running
you should see both processes running under Windows Task Manager -
srvany.exe and softsqueezeheadless.exe (or squeezeslave.exe).
SoftsqueezeHeadless is a good bit harder to run as a service than
Squeezeslave, since you must somehow first configure all the connection
parameters that it will use (normally done from the gui interface),
while with Squeezeslave you just pass the connection data on the
command line. I have them both configured as services ony my work PC,
but usually use Squeezeslave. I'd try it again and see if you can't
fix the volume issue.
One other thing... In investigating where Softqueeze stores its
settings (haven't found them yet) I see that I created a local user
(called "Squeeze", what else?) on my PC used to run the services. That
may be necessary to pull this off. So create a new user and give it a
password, then go into the Services manager and have the service log on
using that account.
