Hello,

In our product we are installing a windows service while installing our product, the service gets installed correctly however its running status is 'not started', we manually need to start the service. I have tried with startup type of service as 'Automatic' and 'Automatic(Delayed Start)' as well, do I need to start the service manually(how) or is there any property I need to set?

One more question, to install/register node service, do we need to do anything special than windows service?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

what about the "Edit Service..." script function? Perhaps your Windows service needs this to "start"?

I Googled and found on helpmegeek.com that, in order to run a Node application as a Windows service, you need to leverage a freeware third-party tool (NSSM). www.nssm.cc
