tchart Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 12, 2016 #2 You need to use something like JavaService; http://forge.ow2.org/projects/javaservice/ Are you wanting to run under 64bit? I can share my 64 bit copy of JavaService and my scripts to install a windows service if you want. Upvote 0

tchart Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 12, 2016 #5 Ok, I've put it on Dropbox; https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29310440/javaservice_x64.zip The zip file contains the x64 version of JavaService.exe, msvcr100.dll (required for JavaService.exe) and two batch files. The two batch files are to install and uninstall the service you will need to tweak these with your config. Note the batch file sets the service to "Manual" so you may want to change that to automatic. The JAR file needs to be in the same directory as the other JavaService files. Most important tips are to make sure you point at the correct JVM.dll file (ie 64bit) and also name your start entry point correctly with your package name plus ".main" eg; -start com.mypackage.main If you mix bits (ie 32bit JVM with 64 bit JavaService) it will not work. Also if the package name is wrong it will not work. Last edited: Apr 13, 2016 Upvote 0
