Daemoniq: Windows service hosting for mere mortals 

What is it?
------------
 Daemoniq is a windows service hosting tool for .Net applications. It provides a
 higher level of abstraction around the classes provided in the System.ServiceProcess 
 namespace. 

Why Daemoniq?
--------------
 Because Developing and debugging windows services or daemon processes in .Net can be a
 really painful and tedious process. The higher level of abstraction provided by Daemoniq 
 allows developers to concentrate on writing windows services in .Net by providing functions
 like configuration, installation and debuggability.
