How to install multiple instances as a service

[LukeShootsThings]

I didn't find any evidence of anyone else doing this so I thought I would share.

Goal: To install YAWCAM as a service multiple times to facilitate using more than one camera.

Process:
Install as a service per the instructions in C:\Program Files (x86)\Yawcam\Yawcam-NTservice_README.txt. This is your first instance.

For the second, and any additional instances, make a copy of the C:\Program Files (x86)\Yawcam folder. My second instance I named Yawcam2.

Launch yawcam.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Yawcam2\ folder and configure for your second camera.

To install as a service, do NOT run the service install batch file. Open a command prompt as administrator and use the following command:

Code: Select all

sc create yawcam2 binpath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Yawcam2\Yawcam_Service.exe"

If you want to explore the different parameters you can learn more about the sc command here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... /sc-create

Anyway, I hope that helps someone who wants the convenience of yawcam as a service for more than one camera.
