Hello,
How can I create a Windows service using HMG?
Thanks,
Michael

A windows service by definition has no user interface.
So you don't need HGM to create it.
Harbour alone is enough for that.

That is great news - thanks Angel.
1. Are there any xHarbour examples of an app destined to be a service?
2. Are there any special initialization requirements?
3. How would a HMG\xHarbour program list or install itself as a service along with all the other common services?
I am a service creation newbie.
Thanks again,
Michael

If I remember, Grigori Filatov presented some apps working as service. Maybe he will answer?

Hello Michael,
There is the following
old sample
service.prg in my code's collection (look at attachment).
Hope that helps but I don't tried this code because I've used a Harbour compiler

Oh thanks for the code. I tried copying that into a new project file and replaced the Main.prg with everything in the service.prg file. Then I tried to compile it and got this in the error log:

Has anyone had luck making a service?
Thanks...
