One thing you'll want to be aware of is that there was an interface
change in 0.6.0. Here's an example that uses most of the available
options:

# Create a new service
Service.create('some_service', nil,
   :service_type       => Service::WIN32_OWN_PROCESS,
   :description        => 'A custom service I wrote just for fun'
   :start_type         => Service::AUTO_START,
   :error_control      => Service::ERROR_NORMAL,
   :binary_path_name   => 'C:\path\to\some_service.exe',
   :load_order_group   => 'Network',
   :dependencies       => ['W32Time','Schedule']
   :service_start_name => 'SomeDomain\\User',
   :password           => 'XXXXXXX',
   :display_name       => 'This is some service',
)
