I recommend re-posting to the PyWin32 user's group and possibly the py2exe group. http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/py2exe-users Alternatively, you can check these links out that are about creating Windows Services in Python: http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2005/09/running-python-script-as-windows.html http://essiene.blogspot.com/2005/04/python-windows-services.html http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html Hope that helps!
