Comment #8 on issue 149 by skrolle: c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install
on windows 7 server

I also tried with the 1.4.5 version from Northscale and got this:
C:\memcached-x86>sc create memcachedtest
binpath= "c:\memcached-x86\memcached.exe -m 512"
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS
C:\memcached-x86>net start memcachedtest
The service is not responding to the control function.
If my memory serves me correctly, you need a bit of extra stuff in a
windows executable for it to actually work as a service, did you
accidentally remove that when you removed everything related to handling
the -d parameter in the windows version?
