A normal windows program just as a single winmain entry point.

A service has many more to handle start/stop/pause/restart/system hibernate etc. from the service control manager. You can't just force a windows executable to behave in this way.

This is using commandline tools:

If the executable was compiled to be used as a service, then you can use SC.exe to create the service.

If the executable was not compiled to be used as a service, then you can use Instsrv.exe and Srvany.exe from one the latest Resource Kit Tools from Microsoft, which will create the service as Srvany.exe will act as a kind of wrapper for your executable. More details can be found here.
