[RADIATOR] Radiator service install on Windows Server 2016 leaves a NOT_STOPPABLE service

[Sami Keski-Kasari]

Hello Robert,

Thank you for reporting this.
It seems that there are some changes in Windows server 2016 service 
manager defaults.
In windows server 2016 service must declare controls that it accepts.

We need to test this before putting it to the patches a little bit more 
with other windows versions.

In meanwhile, you can manually edit Win32Service.pm by adding following 
lines marked in + before StartService():

  sub service
  {
+    &Win32::Daemon::AcceptedControls(SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP|
+                                    SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN|
+                                    SERVICE_ACCEPT_PAUSE_CONTINUE);
      &Win32::Daemon::StartService();

Best Regards,
  Sami
