In this comparison it looks like "Run as Windows Service" can't be done with launch4j: http://yajsw.sourceforge.net/#mozTocId284533

You can do it with other programs like: Java Service Wrapper, Apache Commons Daemon...

Java JAR executable can be converted to the exe file (for instance, with launch4j). Exe file can be launched as a windows service

sc create “My new service” bin path= “D:\FinalProduct\finalProduct.exe” start= auto
