NSSM - the Non-Sucking Service Manager
Windows 10, Server 2016 and newer
2017-04-26: Users of Windows 10 Creators Update or newer should use prelease build 2.24-101 or any newer build to avoid an issue with services failing to start. If for some reason you cannot use that build you can alternatively set AppNoConsole=1 in the registry, noting that applications which expect a console window may behave unexpectedly.
Thanks to Sebasian Krause for the initial diagnosis.
Download
nssm should work under Windows 2000 or later. Specifically, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 are supported. 32-bit and 64-bit binaries are included in the download. Most of the time it should be safe to run the 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows but in some circumstances you may find that it doesn't work and you must use the 64-bit version. Both versions are compiled from the same source code. If one works for you, use that one. If it doesn't, try the other.
