VB Forum / Win API / May 2008

Not really.
There are various wrappers (service++, etc) that will allow a normal
executable to run as a service though.

VB Exes do not understand the service API, so that they misbehave when
installed via little process wrappers. In NT4 days, there were some OCX's
that you could use to create a service, but although these worked, it was
still rather a hit and miss affair for full functionality.

With Windows 2000, MS introduced COM+, which made coding and installing a
full function service in VB6 absolutely trivial, but for some reason, many
VB6 coders seem not to know COM+. So unless you're coding for NT4, I suggest
you look up some articles on COM+ coding. Once you understand the basics,
you'll find that it really is trivial, and the result works on 2000 / XP /
2003 and Vista.
