Here is how I got around the problem, trying to put a program to run as a Service
in Windows:
How to setup the Morning Negotiation Tool(MNTOOL), so it will
Run as a Service in Windows 2003 Server.
1.) You must have the following programs, which you can find
in the Microsoft NT/2000 resource kit:
a.) srvany.exe.
b.) instsrv.exe.
2. Put the MNTOOL execution file in the directory D:\smt_tool as pass.exe.
3. Copy INSTSRV.EXE and SRVANY.EXE, on Windows 2003 Server, under
the directory C:\windows\.
4. Run "C:\Windows\INSTSRV MNTOOL C:\Windows\srvany.exe"
5. Using REGEDT32 find the following key:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\MNTOOL
6. Create a new key called "Parameters" , under MNTOOL.
7. Create a new REG_SZ value, under Parameters, called "Application" and give it
the value d:\smt_tool\pass.exe.
8. Run Control Panel, Services, find the MNTOOL service and change the Startup
settings for this service to log on account smt, which should have Administrator
permissions.
9. Start the MNTOOL service, from the Service menu, and it should remain
running. Do a Cntrl/Alt/Delete to get the TASK Manager ICON and make
sure it says that PASS.exe is running.
Note:
To delete the MNTOOL, from running as a service, you can use the following
DOS command, which is only available in Windows XP PRO and Windows
2003 Service software: “sc delete MNTOOL”
