I'm sure that I don't speak for everyone, but I would tend to avoid
third-party service systems, and this would also expose Sniffer to the
potential pitfalls of that software.
You could provide directions on how to install SRVANY, and then have a
script that completes the process once the executables are on the
system. That would be my short-term recommendation. In the long-term,
I would do your own service as opposed to use someone else's container.
I would not recommend distributing XYNTService until you have trialled
that for several months with a range of systems. The work of properly
testing this is possibly more work than creating your own service.
All IMO of course.

SRVANY works perfectly and is free with Windows. Why not use that?
We can't redistribute SRVANY with our installer and we can't be sure
it will be present on all systems. I've been using SRVANY every time I
do an install for somebody... but we want something that we can
deliver with the installer so it can be a (more or less) one click
process.
