Adrian, Do you know if this script creates a config file somewhere? Would it be possible/helpful to have a script in Solr's /bin to run it as a service?
e.g.: bin\install_solr_service.cmd It would assume these defaults: -nssm "c:\Program Files\nssm\win64\nssm" -servicename "Solr" -start true The rest of the parameters would be the same as bin\solr.cmd It would, behind the scenes, run: nssm install Solr bin/solr.cmd -f %* nssm set Solr AppDirectory . And possibly: nssm start Solr I don't have a Windows setup to try this on right now, but I'd like to see such a script inside the bin/ directory. Would this work?
