I am writing a .BAT script which goes as follows:

cd "C:\Program Files\WinRAR"

winrar.exe

Double clicking this batch file works fine and openes winrar for me....now i try installing it as service with NSSM

i place nssm.exe in the same directory as my batch file and proceed to install it like following:

enter image description here

All other tabs are left unchanged. when I open services.msc and manually click start on this service it shows running but nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

    I'll start by asking you a question. How many services do you know, or have, which run with a visible window? – Compo Jul 24 '20 at 13:14
  • oh wait i feel so dumb now.....winrar acually opens if i see in task manager....sorry I am pretty new to this. – AwesomeVk47 Jul 24 '20 at 13:26
  • I’m voting to close this question because this was a simple misunderstanding of the concept, and the OP has acknowledged it. Keeping this question open adds no value to others, in fact it may detract from what people may be looking for – Craig Wayne Jan 11 '23 at 12:23
