Main problem; trying to start .bat or .cmd files as a Service.
No matter how I install the service (with INSTSRV & ANYSRV) and tweaking
registry, I still get error "Could not start the TEST service on Local
computer. Error 1053..." while starting the service. And Allow service to
interact with desktop has been set on/off, no affect... Help pls.
What am I doing wrong and how should I do it ?
This may help.

Firedaemon can run the .BAT for you, but is not free.
Consider compiling the logic into an .EXE using AutoIT from
www.hiddensoft.com.
For example, here's some AutoIT Version3 code for a goofy service:
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
do
WinWait ("Microsoft")
TrayTip ( "Note for you","Microsoft is for girly men",10,17)
sleep (5000)
TrayTip ( "","",10,17)
do
sleep (3000)
$msft = WinExists ("Microsoft")
until $msft == 0
until 1=0
I named it Watch_my_titles.au3 and then compiled it as Watch_my_titles.exe.
I then put the file in "D:\Flat\Desktop Junk\aUTOit\Making a service\" with
instsrv.exe and srvany.exe.
On the DOS prompt, I ran:
instsrv.exe Watch_my_titles "D:\Flat\Desktop Junk\aUTOit\Making a
service\srvany.exe"
Lastly, configured the registry by adding:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Watch_my_titles\Parameters]
"Application"="D:\\Flat\\Desktop Junk\\aUTOit\\Making a
service\\Watch_my_titles.exe"
"AppParameters"=""
"AppDirectory"="D:\\Flat\\Desktop Junk\\aUTOit\\Making a service"
I want it to interact with the desktop, so I opened the services control
panel(Services.msc) and tabbed to
the Logon tab and checked "Allow service to interact with desktop".
HTH.
