Win 2003 Services

[Dave]

I am trying to install an application as a service in
Windows 2003. I have installed the Win 2003 Resource Kit
(the freebee, without registering) and I still cannot
figure out how to add a new service. I know in Win 2K you
can use srvinstw.exe to add a service, but this exe
doesn't seem exists in my version of Win 2003 Resource
Kit. In Win 2K the srvinstw.exe opened up a wizard that
allowed me to enter the desired info and it added the
service into the registry, does Win 2003 have this
ability? If not, any other ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

You can use instsrv.exe from Windows 2003 Server ResKit.
