>>I should have asked you the question before I replied. Do I understand - from the home page of the serviceMill - is that it is a good idea to create the application first and test it. And then convert it into Service. Correct?

>Yes, create the program you want to run as a service to make sure it works the way you like. Then ServiceMill will turn it into a service (even creating an entry in the Windows Services Management Console) and make sure it runs automatically without any user login or interaction. And will even re-start it if it fails (if thats what you want).
Excellent. Thank you!
