Well, I don't know about running a Rev Standalone as a service, but you 
could do the following...


1. Make a Setup program that installs your standalone and also adds an 
entry to the Registry to startup the program during Window's boot.

2. Set the decorations to empty.  I know this removes the titleBar and 
window border, but it also removes the taskbar button.  This way you 
could either hide the window (if it's a background service) or keep the 
window open but it can't be hidden.


This should work just fine.  Hope this helps.  Oh, a great free setup 
program builder is called InnoSetup.  Most major companies use it, and 
it's very expandable.  Oh, it's free...can't beat that!
