I tried runme demo as service, on a W2k plateform, 

i built the Aws1.4 demo runme_server and runme_control.
for that i took the service.ad? and service-server.ad? files from the seti 
home project.

it build with a warning that i don't exactly remember ... 
then i put needed DLL (ssl, .. ) in the system32 directory. i checked that 
runme_server don't need further dependency.

then i registered the service using runme_control -i

and tried to launch the service using the control panel of windows.

first time it crash because it tried to launch a runme_server.exe in the 
current path .. 
i put a full path with the registry tool, then tried to launch it again ..
it crash ?? 
looking at the event panel, windows logged that an unexpected crash append, 
and it didn't the reason ! 

has any one information about debugging services ?
