    Does anyone know how to do this? I can't find a resource kit for 2008.

      Do you want to elaborate a little more what you intend to do? There is an SDK available for download that you can use to build add-ins and extensions to the product.

        Nothing that complex. I just want WHS to run uTorrent as a service when WHS boots up.

          There is no Windows Server 2008 Resource Kit, as far as I know.

          srvany.exe from the Server 2003 resource kit won't work correctly on Windows Server 2008, from what I understand, but there are other tools that can also host an arbitrary program as a service. You might try one or more of them. Note, however, that hosting an arbitrary program as a service can create security and stability issues; anything you want to run as a service really should be written to run as a service.

          I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

            Any ideas what a novice (me!) can use to do this?

              I have discovered the answer.

               

              I installed RK Tools and used anyserviceinstaller application available here: http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php?/topic/8566-any-service-installer/

               

              You must run Anyserviceinstaller.exe as administrator if like me you are installing the service under a different user account.

               

              Once done the service will not be working. Bizarrely you have to go into the Services viewer, right click, properties and re-enter the password in both fields. Restart the service and it works.
