Actually, running python 2.0 and win32all-144.exe I don't see that:
C:\>python my_service.py --interactive
option --interactive not recognized
Usage: 'my_service.py [options] install|update|remove|start [...]|stop|restar
t [...]|debug [...]'
Options for 'install' and 'update' commands only:
--username domain\username : The Username the service is to run under
--password password : The password for the username
--startup [manual|auto|disabled] : How the service starts, default = manual
I guess build 144 doesn't support that option (otherwise please let me
know), but thanks anyway. At least I know that upgrading will work.
