SABnzbd run as Windows service when installed from source.

Hello,

I would like to run the latest version of SABnzbd as a service on my Windows server.
I have installed from source and everything is working but when installing from source the SABnzbd.exe, SABnzbd-helper.exe, & SABnzbd-service.exe are not included as I would expect.

I have tried to copy those files from an installation that used the installer but I could not get the service to work, which was not real surprising.

Can I use the NSSM to run the python command line to get it to run as a service ? What is the preferred and recommended way to run it as a service when installed from source ?

Thanks.

Good question.. I think you are better of using the latest beta/RC than to try to do it from source.
There is not that much new stuff in develop compared to 2.3.6Beta1, most of the effort is in the Python 3 part but that's still very much in development.
