Where do can I find Srvinstw.exe on server 2008 standard edition sp1
I am trying to make a Windows service for an application that only has a process. I need to be able to remotely start the service. This article discusses Srvinstw.exe.
I did, unfortunately not finding it. sc.exe is there.

Srvinstw.exe not supported in 2008 server
Instead must use: srvany.exe
Also can use the commaand line SC.exe to create a new service that launches "srvany " (e.g. sc create MyService binPath= C:\Windows\System32\srvany.exe DisplayName= "My Custom Service" )
Its not part of Windows Server 2008, you can find it in The Microsoft Server Resource Kit however, in Windows 2003, but I do not know if it still works for 2008.

big_one01: srvany.exe does not exist on my server either. I know I can use sc.exe but I am sucker for gui's.

lazarus98: I will give it a shot, I agree it does not look like it exists for 2008.
