This is hardly offtopic... I have written them in D3 (which still use) but I got
some REALLY good start with a beasty written by Peter Antypas at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I dont know what its status is now - probably abandoned
but he has let others use it without charge, so worth a try. I have hacked
various bits - message logging to Event logger etc., but overall it has provided
an excellent framework. Services created like this are installed on command
line with svcname -i . If D4 doesnt do this (strange), then I can let you know
what the API calls to install and remove a service are. I dont know much
about the D4 wrapper in winsvc.h though, so you will need to work that
through.
