But installation of the guardian as a service is documented as unsupported in
RC2.

The support has been built-in for final release. Instsvc has been modified to
take an extra switch to allow installation of the guardian. This will remove
the need for any setup program to have to write the kind of code have posted.
Of course, you don't need to use the built-in features if you don't want to.

Final release date is still imminent but unknown. We are currently discussing
the severity of some known bugs and the necessity of the fixes.
