I’ve been very pleased with my Windows Home Server/XBox 360 setup.

via What Should I Use for My Home Theater PC: Apple TV, Nettop, Old Computer, or Something Else?.

Here are some notes about installing WallWatcher on Windows Home Server:

1. Don’t install; there is no install, just extract the program files and libraries.
2. Don’t put on the C:\ drive
   • In case you have to re-install Windows Home Server put the WallWatcher files on another drive instead.  I created a “Program Files” folder on my D:\ drive and put them in there.
3. Configure WallWatcher to store log files to a Shared Folder you can access from another computer.
4. Setup WallWatcher to run as a service using srvstart.exe.
   1. Close WallWatcher application.
   2. Put “srvstart.exe” and “srvstart.dll” in a folder called “srvstart” in D:\Program Files.
   3. Create an INI file named “srvstart.ini” in “D:\Program Files\WallWatcher”.  Paste in the following:

      [WallWatcher]
      startup=D:\Program Files\WallWatcher\WallWatcher.exe
      startup_dir=D:\Program Files\WallWatcher

   4. Go to Start > Run.  Enter the following:

      “D:\Program Files\srvstart\srvstart.exe” install WallWatcher -c “D:\Program Files\WallWatcher\srvstart.ini”

   5. Go to Start > Run.  Enter the following:

      services.msc

   6. Locate the new “WallWatcher” service.  Right-click and select Properties.

      
      

   7. Select “Automatic” for Startup Type and click Start.  Click OK.
