Hosting ASP.NET Core as Windows service

Question

As I get it in RC2 there\'s a support for hosting applications within Windows Services. I tried to test it on a simple web api project (using .NET Framework 4.6.1).

I found this topic while looking for a solution to a similar problem. Ended up implementing something that works pretty much like very (very) simplified Topshelf. You can easily run as console and/or install, uninstall and so one as a service. I think it can be pretty useful for somebody. You can find the code here : https://github.com/PeterKottas/DotNetCore.WindowsService and there's nuget here as well https://www.nuget.org/packages/PeterKottas.DotNetCore.WindowsService/ . Enjoy :)
