TIM,
        I did it on an NT 4.0 Server.
        
        In the comand line, you have to position you in the directory where squeak.exe is.
        Like "C:\ cd  \aNameForADirectoryWhereSqueakIs"
        you type this:  " squeak.exe -service: aNameForTheService  squeak.image " and return.
        NT will ask you if you want to start the service immediately...yes for sure
        
        Valid that you use a port different than 80 for the Swiki, may be 8080 because 
        it seems that NT Server reserve this port for is own webServer.
        
        Another note, do not put a 'racourci'  (this is like an alias-sorry I don't know
        the english word) in the startUp folder, this can cause you troubles if there is a problem 
        an that someone try to logon the alias in the startUp folder will try to launch the swiki 
        a second time.
        
        Hope this help...
        Raymond
