I made this script to make it easy to install D2OL as a service. All credit goes to Jeff (and AMDMB before him) for figuring this out. Credit also goes to Rodzilla for trouble shooting this.
Read the readme before running the batch file.
YOU MUST HAVE D2OL INSTALLED PRIOR TO RUNNING THIS SCRIPT
To remove the service, run REMOVE.bat.

Great addition to our growing "wealth of information" PS2!
wow!
making this a sticky
Works great too!!! Advantages... well...
@FDM
1. Auto starts with windows.
2. No System tray icons.
3. Service start at the logon screen... so you can just hit the power button and it starts.
4. Stealthy. You can run it on a rig with multiple logins and it will keep running and no one will mess with it.
5. The joy of knowing that you are Xtreme!
Ok, i have just checked my stat's for all my nodes and none of them seem to have uploaded anything today :S checked this rig and cpu load is 2% so im guessign the service's have died on all of my rigs? urmmm.. anyone know what's up? :S has anyone else had this problem or is it just me? it was runnign fine as a service before.
cheers,

Is the D2OL.exe and the DockWin.exe (or GridWin.exe) running in the Taskmanager? The D2OL.exe should always be running along with one of the other 2 for each client.Originally Posted by Blergo
Next. Right click on the My Computer icon on the desktop and select Manage. Expand the services and applications tree, and click on Services. You should see your services in there. Are the started? What happens when you double click on it to bring up the properties?
Next. While you are still in the Computer Management screen look at the Event viewer towards the top of your selections. Select the System log and see if there are any errors that pertain to your D2OL Service.
it's ok, it isnt to do witht he service, i have one rig i havent installed as a service yet and it had died too. i thought they were all running as a service already. Ok. the ones that are installed as a service just died, completely, nothing in task manager atall, cpu load right down.the other one though had just stopped doing anything, the program was still running. BUT it had a little red dot on the system tray icon??
owen
Did you check the things in my post before yours (For the service rigs)?
On the one that isn't a service. Are you sure someone isn't stopping it? Can you restart it? (Right click on the system tray icon and select "start task engine"
yes, im sure nobody is stoping it, that rig is used only for folding, dosnt even have a mouse conected, i alt +F4'd out of it and reloaded d2ol and it is runign fine now, all the other rigs apear to be runing fine aswell after a restart :S. i did what you said and it all looks fine after a reboot, one thing i noticed is that it wasnt set to restart the service if it fails, which i set it to do now so in theory if it dies again it will restart automatically?
owen
Awesome! If you set it to restart it should restart... but were yours even stopped?
yes, the services had stoped. no idea why but i am thinking mabey when the servers were playing up the other day or because i got disconected from the internet?
owen
What does the windows error log say????
nothing that i can see? :S it definatley seems strange that all the services died and the one that wasnt running as a service stoped folding and had a red dot on the system tray icon though :S nobody has been tampering with the rig's, as i said. 2 of them arent used for anything but foldign and dont even have monitors conected normally, i only noticed there was something wrong because i went and checked up on my nodes on the stats page..lol.. ah well, hopefully it will work ok now, if it happens again i will start to panic though.
owen
I just checked one of my rigs at home that is setup as a service.
The service was started but no actual D2OL processes were running. Restarting the service seems to have worked, but I don't know how long that will last. This rig was setup using Jeff's method (and Rodzilla's idea to put the two service files in the Windows directory). Any ideas?
I bet it errored out... When it's setup as a service you won't get an error message that pops up. Check the error log in the administrative tools and let us know.
I checked the error and it said invalid path or something similar. That is weird since I was able to first start and then restart today without making any changes. We'll see if I have any more problems with it.
If you double click the error it will give you more info... there is also a button to copy the info in that screen... Could you paste it for me?
I'm making installers and I want to know if there will be a problem before I post them...

I'm making installers and I want to know if there will be a problem before I post them...I got the error maybe a half dozen times. I'll reboot when I get a chance to make sure everything is A-OK at startup.The D2OL service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
EDIT: The rig has ran fine for almost a day. I rebooted and everything started up fine, so I guess everything is ok.

I think I have PS2's service script somewhere... I'll upload it and post a link if I find it.
I still have it, I'll upload it on to another server.
