I run squeak successfully using srvany.exe and instsrv.exe from the resource
kit. Instrv.exe is a command-line tool that installs any program executable
as a service on the machine. In this case, we use srvany.exe as the program
to install into the service control manager. Srvany.exe is another
command-line tool that will wrap any program properly as a service.
Srvany.exe requires you to setup some registry parameters that tell it what
program it is running. I run squeak with the standard parameters (e.g. what
image file) but I also include the "-headless" option. That's about all I do
and it works every time on Windows XP, 2000, or 2003. I run probably 10 - 15
squeak instances this way.
Let me know if you need more details but all these programs are available on
the net. Below is a sample dump of my registry keys for one of my Squeak
instances:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Squeak 3.8\Parameters]
"AppDirectory"="d:\\squeak38"
"Application"="squeak.exe"
"AppParameters"="-headless Squeak3.8g-6527.image"
Hope this helps.
Regards,
John
