O.P. How to make this tutorial Vista'fied. (Running a program as a Service)
http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13010

That forum thread shows how to make XlinkKai (Xbox Tunneling Program, but thats not the point) run as a service.

I wanted to know if there are any differences in instructions, because I tried getting the Resource Kit, but when I installed it said there are compatibility issues.

Maybe there is some different Services setup in Vista, I dont know, but thats what you guys help for ;-).

Thanks,

SonicSam

That's the dodgiest, most long-winded way I have ever seen to install a service, why not just use Windows' built-in service control manager?

code:
sc create "Xlink Engine" binPath= "C:\Program Files\XLink Kai Evolution VII\kaiLaunch.exe" start= auto
This will create the service and make it automatically start when you logon.
code:
sc start "Xlink Engine"
This will make it start immediately instead of you having to restart to make it auto-start.

This will work on every NT-based version of Windows afaik.

I tried what you said but all I get is this.

quote:
C:\Users\SonicSam>sc create "Xlink Engine" binPath= "C:\Program Files\Xlink Kai Evolution VII\kaiLaunch.exe" start=auto
DESCRIPTION:
        Creates a service entry in the registry and Service Database.
USAGE:
        sc <server> create [service name] [binPath= ] <option1> <option2>...

OPTIONS:
NOTE: The option name includes the equal sign.
      A space is required between the equal sign and the value.
type= <own|share|interact|kernel|filesys|rec>
       (default = own)
start= <boot|system|auto|demand|disabled|delayed-auto>
       (default = demand)
error= <normal|severe|critical|ignore>
       (default = normal)
binPath= <BinaryPathName>
group= <LoadOrderGroup>

maybe:

DESCRIPTION:

(...)

PS: if it works, post it in that other thread on that forum ;)
