How to run a program as a service??

I have 2 apps that I want to run as services on my server. But I have no idea how to install them as such. I've found some programs that claim to be able to do it but all of them are $40 or more. Not worth it. Besides I figured there had to be another way. Anyone know??
 
SrvAny.exe should work, you should be able to find it for free. It's an unsupported MS tool. Be aware that programs which are not specifically written as services, and as such don't respond to service messages, can have unpredictable results.

Yes I did see an article on SrvAny.exe on the MS site. But at the bottom under 'Applies To' it does not list Windows Server 2003. So I didn't think it would work. Basically I want it to start up my FTP server and TeamSpeak server automatically without me having to log in. I'll give it a try though.

SrvAny is listed on this page Server 2003 Resource Kit so I would have to assume it works.

Well... that kinda worked. I was able to get it loaded and to start up as a service. But now I can't access the console 🙁 When I try to it launches another instance of the program which fails due to port 21 already being in use. I tried using the different logon options and setting it to interact with the desktop but none of those work. Any other ideas?
 
Local administrator. Normally when you start the program while logged in you get an icon in the system tray you can right click to bring up the console. But when I logged in as local admin it wasn't there.
