The installer does a "colinux-daemon.exe --install-driver" and setthe 
path for the uninstaller, but does nothing with the system services.

What version of coLinux you are running?
What Windows (XP or W2K)?

Is the coLinux right installed and unused?
Check this, if service is not running:
   colinux-daemon.exe --status-driver

Try to start the debugger:
   colinux-debug-daemon.exe -d -p -s prints=31,misc=31 > file.log
Than run the service from a second prompt, stop debugger with CTRL-C 
after the error passed.  Than grep into the output, search the error 
line and read detailed error messages some lines before.

What steps do you runs to "install the service"?
Please list your inputs on windows command line.
