Thank you! I have tried this and I get the same result that I have had using other options... the service starts and tries to run the VBoxHeadless.exe with all the proper parameters. Watching the TaskManager, I see the headless program start and then stop almost immediately. Upon checking the log for the service, it says that VBoxHeadless stopped with an exit code of -2147024809. I have looked this up and cannot find any useful information.
