It appears I didn't read the docs properly when I write that bit - the 
dependencies parameter passed to CreateService() is supposed to be double-null 
terminated - a subtle point I missed :-(

The attached patch fixes this. Harald - I can email an updated .exe if you want 
to test, otherwise, you should be able to use the current version if you 
cleanup the 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pg_autovacuum\DependOnService
 registry key.

Regards, Dave
