How can I manually create an InduSoft Runtime Service?

This guide walks you through the process of manually creating an InduSoft runtime service. First you will create the service itself, then you will create the necessary ini file for the service to use.

Synposis:
The general format of the command that needs to be executed in an elevated command prompt is:

sc create "InduSoft Web Studio v8.1" binPath=" C:\Program Files (x86)\InduSoft Web Studio v8.1\Bin\StdSvc.exe "

Then you want to edit the service in services.msc and configure it to run under a valid windows user in the LogOn tab.

Finally you need to make a file called WinService.ini and place it in the IWS install directory\Bin folder with the following contents:

[Application]
Configuration=<path to APP file>

Where <path to APP file> is the full path to the project's APP file that you wish for the service to run.



The guide will walk you through these steps with greater detail.
