Section "install service"

!insertmacro SERVICE "create" "testingblah" \
"path=C:\Documents and Settings\John Kimble\Desktop\New Folder\testingblah.exe;autostart=on;"

SectionEnd

oh sorry i forgot to tell you the " -b " means background .. so testingblah.exe -b configuration.config means it runs with the config file in the background (press ctrl alt del and u see it )

You can not run any application as a service. It has to be written specifically to be a service. See MSDN for more details.
