I want to create windows services with a GUI, but the built-in windows services manager doesn't do this. What is a good windows software that does this well?

What I want to do is open the program, and be able to create a new service that opens an executable file on startup.

P.S. I have tried searching Google but those are all console answers.

  • Can you please elaborate? You want to create a new Windows service? More info needed or this will be closed like your previous, similar question.

Your questions is a bit awkward... but I can think of two different answers that may help - if it doesn't, please rephrase your question.

If you mean program your own service from scratch using a real gui, the only thing that springs to mind is Visual Studio.

If you mean just putting an executable as a service, I personally use SrvAny.exe following Microsoft's guide here... This is because standard exe files run different to services (different entry point(s)), what SrvAny.exe does is it calls a regular exe file but has a wrapper that acts as a service.

The guide above will also show the steps needed for actually making a service from srvany.

  • Actually, nevermind, It's not really a graphical user interface
