Installing your Windows Service
You can use the VA Smalltalk Windows Service Maintenance Utility (
abtntsir.exe) to install and remove Windows Service applications. The executable supports several command line keyword parameters (see
VA Smalltalk Windows Services Maintenance Utility command line parameters). All parameters are case-insensitive and can be specified with a dash (-) or a forward slash (/) as a keyword identifier.
To install your application as a Windows Service, enter the command below at a command prompt in the directory where your packaged application resides. For <Windows Service name>, supply the name of your packaged application without the extension.
abtntsir -install <Windows Service name> -srvDisplayName "<service display name>"
For example, for AbtNtServiceExampleApp, you may enter:
abtntsir -install ntservex -srvDisplayName "VA Smalltalk Windows Service Example" -srvWorkingDir e:\VAST\image
This example uses the executable abtntsrv.exe to run the service. As with any packaged image, you will need an .ini file, all files named in the .ini file, and any other files needed to run the service.
