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,

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.
