    1. Download the Windows Service Wrapper binary from this project: https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw

    2. Copy to your Buildkite directory and rename to "buildkite-service.exe"

    3. Create buildkite-service.xml:

    <service>
    <id>buildkite-service</id>
    <name>buildkite-service</name>
    <description>The BuildKite build agent.</description>
    <executable>buildkite-agent</executable>
    <arguments>start</arguments>
    <logmode>rotate</logmode>
    </service>

    4. Invoke "buildkite-service install" to register the service.

    (This may show a dialog indicating that you need to install the .NET Framework 3.5 - you can do this in the Control Panel, search for Turn Windows Features On and Off and install it through the wizard).

    5. Use the Services control panel to change the user that buildkite-service runs as, to an appropriate user.

    6. "net start buildkite-agent"
