hmg application in service mode, possible?

Hello Experts!
I was here a long time ago, welcome to everyone!
I wrote one client - server application, used a "Hmgtalk" sample.
I want to use the "Talkserver.exe" on Windows server 2003 SBS, in service mode.
Because in normal mode it's closed after the user logged off.
How can I compile my HMG project to service application?
I tried instsrv.exe from the "windows resource kit". It's working fine on Windows XP, but doesn't put my apps to service mode in win2003 server.
What's wrong in this procedure?
Any idea?
Thanks for help...
Leslie

Hallo Jayadev!
Thank you for your reply,
I have this description, I tried it already. The HMG program is started as service, but it is closed, when I logged out from the server console. Unfortunately only on Win server. Under windows XP is working fine, in service mode.
I want to know, how can I make direct service mode compiled file in HMG, if it's possible.
I do not find any info about it...
Best regards,
Leslie

Hi Leslie,
I finally got it going. Please have a look at the code attched. I've tested on Windows 7 professional. The actual functionality is based on code by Viktor (quoted above).
I still got some problems though. I cant start/Stop the server from my code. Also, while I can start the server from windows administrative tools window, I cant stop it. Maybe someone in this forum might point us to the right direction?.
