Deploying A Windows Service

[James_Parsons]

Does the FPC support the compilation as a background service? If so, what are the compiler options that will allow me to do this. If not, is there a way to write a program that doesn't display anything, not even a console?

Service or daemon are (special) console programs, no relation with compiler switch. You will need the console, so you can't get rid of that when writing services. If you don't want to display the console, add {$apptype gui} in the program file.
