Llink:Windows installation service

User greatone-d on the NMT forum successfully turned llink into a service on his Windows 2003 server.

His method uses the SrvAny tool. SrvAny and its installer "InstSrv" are applications provided by Microsoft. SrvAny allows Windows applications to run as a service.

Easily adapted instructions are included with the program in the file SRVANY.WRI and many other places on the web. Here are links to a few sites:

• http://www.winnetmag.com/Article/ArticleID/7959/7959.html
• http://www.electrasoft.com/srvany/srvany.htm (also contains SrvAny and InstSrv download links (30 KB only)
• Download SrvAny from Microsoft as part of the Windows Server Resource Toolkit for Win2003K(12 MB).

Here's an older Microsoft HowTo about the SrvAny: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890

greatone-d's instructions: I figured it this out and have it working on W2k3...

Using SrvAny, ensure you add the working directory line to the registry... AKA.
