There's also Cygwin at cygwin.com. It's a generally complete *nix environment for Windows with a wide variety of *nix tools that work exactly as they do on *nix. Cygwin includes cygrunsrv which can install executable code as a service. Most, if not all of Cygwin is under the GPL.

I've done it before, but not with ComSwiki. Anyone on the PWS list?

The following has worked for me from NT and 2000.

From http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/swiki/10:

Advanced Setup
If you'd like ComSwiki to startup when you power up your computer,
you'll need to follow one of the following recipes: If you're using Windows 95/98 (this can also work for NT, but see the
warning/limitations below)... create a shortcut to 'Squeak.exe' in 'C:\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\StartUp\' check the properties of the shortcut to make sure that 'Squeak.exe'
starts in its directory (e.g., 'C:\Program Files\ComSwiki\') Limitation: this method only works when you're not presented with the
logon screen; otherwise, the startup of ComSwiki will be delayed until
somebody logs on If you're using Windows NT... you can start ComSwiki from the command line as follows: Squeak.exe
-service: ComSwiki squeak.image then use NT's services control panel to configure 'ComSwiki' service --
when it should startup, etc.
