Thats usually a very bad idea. Presenting services  with GUIs
can lead to lockups and other bad things under Windows so
you should only do it if absolutely essential. Are you sure there
is no other way to run your app? Maybe with the GUI part as
a separate program that communicates with the service?

I think the requirements of a service mean there are some
extra flags that need to be set. MSDN is probably your best
bet for info. It will also explain why services and GUIs don't
usually mix.

Don't do it. Find another way.
