Has anyone been able to get the server related .exe files to run as services on Server 2008 R2 for instance and willing to share what they did? I tried srvany and didn't have much luck there.

To be honest, I think it is a bad idea to run them as a service until the project is a little more stable. Since it isn't designed to run as a service, there will be no method other than task manager to manipulate it, and you will need admin privileges even for that. When things go wrong all you can do with a service is restart it (and read the logs).

I just made a batch file that launches and minimizes them all.
Put this in a batch file (i.e. server.bat) in the same folder as the exe's
Then I just made a shortcut to it on my desktop.
Code: Select all
start /min /d "./" DSConnect-server.exe
start /min /d "./" DSGame-server.exe
start /min /d "./" DSSearch-server.exe
