Hmm, I have exactly the opposite problem. I want it installed as a service, and whatever I do the checkbox in the control panel won't stay clicked. Other than that, my installation works fine.
I want it as a service because without it, the zend-platform installer keeps complaining that it can't restart the web server on it's own because it's not installed as a service, so I should do it manually. I do so, but at the end it errors out and won't work.
By the way, it does get started automatically on boot by windows. I thought that's what being installed as a service was all about, so I'm baffled.
Here's the error log on startup:

EDIT: By the way, I've reinstalled several times, and before the last one I uninstalled, cleaned the registry of any mention of "xampp" or "apache", and made sure the xampp directory was gone. Right now it's a clean install with nothing changed, v 1.0.6a
