+You are pretty much on your own here.
+
+When Andy Church originally wrote Services for us, then later GPLed it, he
+specifically didn't support it under Windows, nor would he ever.
+
+You are better off using a UNIX-type machine for any kind of Internet
+server, be it Linux (under which Services was developed, FreeBSD,
+whatever. All of those are free.
+
+And as we have seen time and time again, Windows has had more holes than
+than a block of Swiss cheese. Part horrendous coding on Microsoft's part,
+part open-by-default policies.
+
+Hence the phrase: "Windows: /n/ 1. Easily opened. 2. Easily broken."
+
+Services has been, and probably shall always be, a UNIX-only program.
+
+Save yourself the effort and headaches and get Linux or FreeBSD. Both are
+good. Both are free.
