Installing Apache or MySQL as Windows Services
This article explains how to install Apache or MySQL as windows services.

For MySQL, one can install/remove as service by switching to 

the directory (d: then cd /mywebserver/mysql/bin) where 

mysqld is located and then typing



mysqld --install



mysqld --remove



For Apache, one can install/uninstall as service by switching 

to the directory where httpd is located and then typing



httpd -k install



httpd -k uninstall



We suggest switching to the appropriate bin directory and 

directly executing mysqld or httpd for the install or remove.  



If that does not work, then try using the full path so that 

the service location is clear to the OS.



It is safer to avoid spaces in the directory names.
