Transforming a notifing program in a NT Service

Use the NT Reskit tool SC.Exe to install this as a service on a machine.

Or check out these links which describe how to do this in more detail. One with an activex control, the other using srvany.exe.

what i used is the NTService control (NTSVC.OCX) from m$. This lets you react on the events (Start, Stop, Pause, Continue), whereas the tool SC.exe simulates this.

if you need the file and could not find it at m$ site, i can send it to you.

to be honest, i think i remember that the ShellNotify+NTService does not seem to work as long as there is not explorer open (for the user/session).
i think a collegue in my company tried this already with no success.
i didn't try it yet, but you might try to open an explicit explorer (using shell) in your application.

Hope this helps

Hi TimCottee!

Can you tell me more about the NT Reskit tool SC.Exe?

Hi, everyone!!!

I looked at http://vbwire.com/advanced/howto/service.asp 

When I tried to use SC.EXE from Resource kit, it installs and when starts it brings a message like "Could not start, service timeout" with or without NTSVR.OCX  

When install using NTSVR.OCX   it didn´t work  even calling explorer.exe

What should I do?
