John, I'm glad you go it going. There is also an AppDirectory key that you can associate with a service, and I _think_ it will accomplish the same thing, albeit with silly syntax and no error useful messages :)

Hi Wilhelm, To be semantic, we aren't running Pharo directly as a service - we are using Hudson[1] to execute the image. The image then outputs the test results to a text file (we are using SSpec and TextSpecRunner) and a batch script parses this results file. The issue was, as Damien suggested, that the image could not locate a sources file, so instead of calling the executable with the full path in our batch script, I simply changed it to "cd" to the path and call it locally :) Regards, John.
