Is it possible to create a windows service that runs the executable at the end of a shortcut to facilitate versioning? i.e. sc create MyService binPath= "shortcut.lnk"

3You might be better off using the symlink functionality instead of a shortcut. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194(v=ws.10).aspx I have never tested, but I bet you can point a services a symlink. Then simply update the symlink to point at the latest version and restart the service. – Zoredache May 29 '13 at 19:30
