I have developed a simple RPC server in executable format using Visual C++. Now I would like it to run as a service at Windows boot up. How to program this?

Depending on the version of Windows you are using, you can use Sc to do it as shown at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192.

To fully integrate, there are many guides: one is at http://www.muukka.net/programming/service/

The simplest would be to create a windows service template from Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/40xe80wx(v=vs.80).aspx

... then cut-and-paste.

  • is this template is already RPC look alike? Means, does it works like a RPC too? – karikari Jun 15 '11 at 02:12

    It's a generic windows service template. You already have the code for your RPC server, it should be simple enough to plug it in the generated source files. – Erwin Alva Jun 15 '11 at 23:44
