Install and Run Any Application Program As A Windows Service!

Welcome to FireDaemon!

FireDaemon Pro allows you to schedule, configure, install and run any 32-bit or 64-bit application program executable written in any language (eg. C/C++, C#, VB, Delphi, Foxpro, Fortran, LISP) or interpreted script (eg. Java, Perl, Powershell, BAT/CMD, Python, Ruby, TCL/TK, PHP) as a Windows Service. FireDaemon Pro allows you to setup your service quickly and simply via the GUI or command line. You can import and export your service configurations to/from XML for fast setup on other computers.
