Hi,

I want to run a D program as a Windows service. After googl'in, I 
only found a very old project on github:
https://github.com/tylerjensen/WindowsServiceInD

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to compile it successfully.
Does anybody know of newer approaches or even a template to start 
from?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

There is https://code.dlang.org/packages/daemonize I've only played with it a little on the Linux side so I'm not sure how good the windows service implementation is.

I have just successfully compiled and started the hello-world example. It works (after fixing a small error) in Windows as well. Thanks a lot!
