Thats correct, we have a service installer that takes 3 parameters (StartCmd, StopCmd, WorkingDir). You can provide any thing as start/stop command which in our case is an exe for a StartCmd and a batch file for a StopCmd. In our exe, we have a console handler and realized by turning "Allow service to interact with Desktop" option. You can quit this exe by hitting CTRL-C in the console.
