What Is NT Wrapper? Released January 2005 - http://www.duodata.de/ntwrapper/index.htm

The NT Wrapper allows standard Windows 32 bit applications or scripts to be run as a Windows NT/2K/XP/2003 Service. NT Wrapper features: Easy configuration thru a GUI and simple INI files, prioritization of sub-processes, custom environments, CPU binding, redirecting of Stdout/Stderr to file, logging to the event log and to disk and the capability to run multiple applications in a single NT Wrapper service instance.

Currently two different versions are available:
NT Wrapper Lite - Freeware for noncommercial use.
NT Wrapper Pro - Commercial, must be registered.

Cool! Got it working
