After GEODI is installed, it can be turned into a Service. To make a service, the GEODI.WindowsServiceInstall.bat file in the GEODI directory is run with administrator privileges.

GEODI Service starts without the need to log in. Therefore, GEODI must be installed as a service for continuous operation.

Windows will ask you for the administrator username and password (this information is not required by GEODI). This user must be authorized to access directories and other windows resources that GEODI will index. When the service setup is successful, you will receive a message like the one below.

GEODI Service will take its place in the service list with the name "GEODI.WindowsService". You can stop/start it at any time.

In order for the service/GEODI to start automatically on startup, on the same screen, from the service's property dialog → Startup Type should be set to automatic.

If you are using a MAP ed directory in GEODI resources or for other tasks that need to be done at startup, the required .bat file should be placed in the GEODI → Settings/BatchFiles/Startup directory.

If you want to uninstall the service, GEODI.WindowsServiceUnInstall.bat in the same directory can be used.
