Ingo is right, a Windows service is a special type of executable. Fossil..exe is an "ordinary" Windows executable. But you cannot have Fossil just idling, waiting for commands. Fossil just does what the command line arguments tell it to do then exits. What are you trying to do?

What did i do wrong ? You can't register an arbitrary program directly as a Windows service. Every Windows service has to implement at least two functions which are called by the service manager to start and stop the service. Fossil obviously does not implement those functions, so it doesn't respond to the service manager as expected. There are programs available which implement those functions and can then run an arbitrary program. Just do a search for "run windows program as a service" Ingo
