If you install the service, it should run regardless of anyone being
logged in or not. If it isn't, something is wrong. As for behaving
differently running in a command window or running as a service, that's
not surprising. The environments are pretty different. It sounds like
you are trying to test in a command window and then run as a service,
that won't work very well. If you want to test the service, you have to
run it AS a service while testing.
