Save As
Save current configuration to a Service Definition File.
Install
Either install the service or assign changes. After a successful installation or modification the Service Definition File is overwritten. Changes made to a running service do not take effect until the service is re-started.
Cancel
Close dialog, revoke changes.


Service Name
A system-wide unique service name. In NT Wrapper the same naming convention as the file naming convention applies. File name of the correspondent Service Definition File is built in the form: ServiceName.ini.
Display Name
A custom display name. It is shown in the Windows Service Control Panel Applet.

Description
A custom description, W2K and better only
Start Account
The name of the Service Start Account. This can either be a local or a domain account. The account must be granted Logon As A Service privilege. Local accounts take the form .\account. Domain accounts take the form domain\account. If this is left blank the service will run as the LocalSystem account. Services not started in the LocalSystem account cannot interact with the desktop. This is a Windows limitation. See also: Run Process As User

Password
Password for the local or domain user's account. If the user's password is changed you will need to modify this field and reinstall the service to reflect the change otherwise the service will fail to start due to an incorrect password.

Confirm Password
Used to verify that the password entered in the field above is correct.

Interact with Desktop
Allows the service to interact with the default desktop, this is mostly the desktop of the currently logged on user as well. Keep in mind that services may run in a different security context as well as on a different desktop so their visibility is not always assured especially in conjunction with Terminal Services and Fast User Switching under XP. Should be enabled if the wrapped executable has a User Interface.
