RSI is a free service installer that allows you to run any application as a service. It provides tools like service control, service manager, and monitor service, and uses srvany.exe and instsrv.exe to install services quickly and easily.
For example, Remote Service installer lets you copy the target executable locally or remotely, giving you greater control over your services. And if your service fails, the failure detection feature will automatically restart the application, ensuring that it continues to run smoothly without any interruption.
One of the standout features of this tool is the ability to terminate up to two processes when your service starts, or when the advanced recovery feature kicks in. This is particularly useful if your application launches child processes that aren't properly terminated when the parent process exits.
Another great feature of this tool is its enhanced logging functionality. With detailed logs that show exactly when processes (parent and children) are terminated and restarted, you'll always have the information you need to ensure your services are running as intended. And with log files saved in the path where your application resides, you'll have easy access to them whenever you need them.
Best of all, this tool works on a variety of Windows operating systems, from NT to 2003, making it an ideal choice for businesses and developers alike. So if you're looking for a reliable, powerful way to run any program executable as a Windows service, be sure to give this tool a try.
