Re: [Py2exe-users] Error compiling windows service - PrepareToHostMultiple failed (boot_service.py, line 45)

[Daniel P. <da...@pr...>]

I think your problem is with the "instart" function that installs and 
starts the service at the same time. The only way I've ever been able to 
successfully install a py2exe'd service is by using the -install 
command-line parameter of the frozen .exe (i.e. using py2exe's service 
installer, not win32serviceutil.InstallService).
