I am not sure why you want to go with this pain. As I understand this you want to install Couchdb as a service on windows without using the installer and without using any registry keys. Is this correct. I believe this is going to be impossible. When dealing with services in Windows system you are working with the security core (think ring 0) of the system and to try this manually (and without setting registry keys correctly - including the security settings on these keys) just is NOT going to work. QUESTION: why do you want to do this? Perhaps you can achieve your goals another way.
