Hi, I've successfully used procrun (see http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/procrun.html) to wrap Solr 5.1 solr.cmd script as a Windows service (I’ve only tested on Windows 2008 R2). Previously, I was using Procrun to manage Jetty services running the Solr.war from older versions but with a bit a tweaking, I was able to wrap the new Solr 5.1.0 scripts.
I roughly did the following: -download and unzip the Solr 5.1.0 distribution to a local folder (i.e. c:\opt ) -download and unzip the Apache Commons Daemon .zip file (from http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-daemon/download_daemon.cgi) in my solr local folder (i.e. c:\opt\solr-5.1.0) -run the batch file [1]. All of this was done through Ansible Playbooks which is the tool I use for configuration management on Windows and Linux. Cheers, Guillaume.
