In this step of the exe4j wizard, you define further options for Windows service executables. All options on this screen will only be enabled if the selected executable type in the executable step is "Service".
Windows services are always uninstalled by passing /uninstall to the generated service executable. All command line switches also work with a prefixed dash instead of a slash (like -uninstall) or two prefixed dashes (like --uninstall).
To start or stop the service, the /start and /stop options are available. In addition, a /status argument shows if the service is already running. The exit code of the status command is 0 when the service is running, 3 when it is not running and 1 when the state cannot be determined (for example when it is not installed).
As a second parameter after the /install parameter, you can optionally pass a service name. In that way you can
In some situations, you might want to install the service as a non-interactive service meaning that the service will not have any possibility to access the GUI subsystem. In order to do that, add non-interactive after the /install parameter. A custom service name can still be specified after the non-interactive parameter.
