Is there a VisualStudio project template for native C++ Win32 services?

Question

I know there is one for .NET based services, even one for managed C++, but I don't see one for native unmanaged C++ Win32 services. Anyone know of any 3rd party templates?

Here you have a complete sample on msdn, consisting of four files:

Answer 2

Just use the regular Win32 Console Application template. A service doesn't have any special compile or link settings, just special code. The SDK docs mention this here...
