Thank you all for the help. My initial problem is that after I install the service, it does not run. And the reason is that by design, if no Wine application is running, then all services are killed. If I start notepad first, then install my service, the service is running and working just fine. It would be better if I don't have to run another Wine application for my service to start, but that is what I have to do now. I hope this would change in the future. Regards, Michael
