[Xitami] Installing Xitami as a service

[Steve Winn]

The older version 2.4d9 that had the installer was a lot simpler to =
figure
out, but the newer open source versions are just as easy once you figure =
out
what to do (guess that's true with anything heh).

1. Unzip the xitami archive to c:\xitami
2. In the \xitami\win32 folder, copy the xicpl32.cpl to your
\windows\system32 directory. Copy xisrv32.exe to the \xitami directory.
3. Goto a command prompt, type "cd\xitami" to change to the xitami
directory. Then type "xisrv32.exe -i" to install the service. The =
service is
now installed.

To uninstall the service you can run "xisrv32.exe -u".

The service will automatically start when you reboot, or go into =
services
and start it manually, or open the xitami control panel and start it =
there.

If you are going to be accessing folders or files over the network, you =
may
need to go into services and tell the xitami service to logon with an
account that has access.
