Simply create a normal TService project, add a COM object to it, and then make sure the 'LocalService' Registry value is configured for the COM object:

LocalService

You can use the service's AfterInstall event to assign that value, and the BeforeUninstall event to remove it.

Very interesting.

I have a few questions though:

- Is the service started at boot time or as needed (when a COM client creates an interface)?
- Under which user account does the service run?
- Is this Vista-compatible (UAC) ?
