New issue 147 by perrykrug: Prepackaged Windows binaries use "runservice"
when being installed as a service
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=147

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.In Windows: "memcached.exe -d install"
2.Looking at the service executable path, it now reads "memcached.exe -d
runservice"
3."-d runservice" isn't described in the help, even though it works.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect the service to be install with "-d start"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows, 32 or 64 bit

Please provide any additional information below.

The -d option shouldn't be used to install memcached as a service (or used
to start it as a windows service). -d means to start it as a daemon (detach
from the tty etc). This change is already available in the engine branch.

If you want to run memcached as a "Windows service" one can use sc.exe to
set it up (for more info see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192/en-us )
