I am familiar with srvany. Seems like it is a whole bunch easier than the PyWin32 stuff. I'll write a wrapper script that can be used like this: createservice.py -myservicename -myservicepath or like this: import createservice createservice.install_if_needed("myservicename", "myservicepath") I'll have my XMLRPC programcall createservice.py's install_if_needed method. There you have it: a foolproof, automatic, no-hassle service. Thanks Frank! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
