Research direction
Start by locating the repository's packaging and installation entry points, since the issue names no specific files or tests. The change would be complete when an installer can place DB-Sync and register it as a Windows service that runs without a logged-in session.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
It would be good to have an installer to install DB-Sync as a service instead of a stand-alone executable as the executable would need to be run in a logged in session.
I managed to use sc.exe to turn the executable to a service (credit to this), with the following steps, which I assume an installer can do:
1- Create a new folder under C:\Program Files\ called db-sync
2- Place the executable for db-sync there.
3- Create a BAT file with the following content:
sc.exe create db-sync binPath= "C:\Program Files\db-sync\dbsync_daemon.exe"
4- Add the BAT file to your start up
You should be able to see the service:
