What is a Windows Service and how does its life cycle differ from a standard EXE?..

Answer / summa

Windows service is a application that runs in the
background. It is equivalent to a NT service.
The executable created is not a Windows application, and
hence you can’t just click and run it . it needs to be
installed as a service, VB.Net has a facility where we can
add an installer to our program and then use a utility to
install the service. Where as this is not the case with
standard exe
