Thanks for the answers :) Here's what I've done. I looked in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services] and did see that the service is installed. When I try to start the service with the following: Code: user@computer03:~/.wine/drive_c/$ wine net start App The App service is starting. Service already running and when I look in the ps list I cant find it, obviously its NOT started :/ user 4146 1 0 09:09 ? 00:00:01 /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/regedit.exe user 4151 1 0 09:09 ? 00:00:01 /usr/lib/wine/wineserver user 4154 1 0 09:09 ? 00:00:00 C:\windows\system32\services.exe user 4158 4154 0 09:09 ? 00:00:00 C:\windows\system32\winedevice.exe MountMgr user 4166 1 0 09:09 ? 00:00:00 C:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /desktop root 4288 2845 0 09:15 ? 00:00:00 [bandwidthd] <defunct> root 4337 2844 0 09:18 ? 00:00:00 [bandwidthd] <defunct> user 4340 3746 0 09:20 pts/0 00:00:00 ps -ef When i try to stop it: Code: user@computer03:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/user/Monitor$ wine net stop App The App service is stopping. fixme:service:EnumDependentServicesA 0x11a5b8 0x00000001 (nil) 0x00000000 0x33ee08 0x33ee04 - stub Invalid service control I can run my app in console mode but I really need it as a service. Any ideas?
