Easy Service Host is a library that makes it easy to develop, install, and run your .NET executable as a windows service. It also makes debugging easy by allowing you to run the same executable as a normal command-line program whether attached to your debugger or not.

Uses

• Self-hosted OWIN servers
• WCF services
• Message queue message handlers
• Periodic or batch processing servers
• Anything else that needs to run continuously on a server.

Features

• Dependency-Free
• Run the same executable as a regular console application for development and debugging or as a windows service installed on a server
• Press Ctrl+C to "stop" the service when running in the console
• Your process can accept any command-line parameters it needs
• Install multiple instances of the same service with different command-line parameters from a single directory to support multi-tenant or other scenarios.
• Perform custom installation and uninstallation steps.
• Automatically elevate when attempting to install or uninstall as a standard user.
