Create Windows service from executable

To create a Windows Service from an executable (.exe), follow these steps:

1. Use sc.exe (Service Control Manager):
   Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
   sh

   CopyEdit

   sc create MyService binPath="C:\path\to\your.exe"


   This registers the service.

2. Use nssm (Non-Sucking Service Manager):
   • Download NSSM.
   • Run:
     sh

     CopyEdit

     nssm install MyService

   • Choose your .exe and configure options.
3. Start the Service:
   sh

   CopyEdit

   net start MyService


   This method ensures your executable runs as a background Windows service.
