Windows Service to start VB console Application

[mcauliff]

I have 2 VB.NET Console Applications that executed at different times from a web server. In most cases, the web server will not be logon.

One of the console Applications executes daily at 5:30 am and the other every 25 minutes.

It has been suggested to code a Windows Service to start these applications. I have no knowledge of how to code a Windows Service module. I have read about them and know that I'm able to code using Visual Studio 2005 Vb.NET.

How would I call by console application?

How do I set the start time for the daily app?

How do I code the loop to execute every 25 minutes for the other?

I would suggest just using Windows Scheduled Tasks/Task Scheduler. If that is all you want to do it makes no sense to create a Service for Windows that already has a Service in windows.
