Summary
This post provides a detailed walkthrough for collecting data from a Windows service using the IntelliTrace Standalone Collector. It covers downloading the collector, extracting the .cab file, configuring the collection plan XML (including specifying the log file directory), registering the Windows service, and editing the registry to enable profiling. It also notes that attaching to a running service is possible for event collection and provides registry keys and DLL paths for both 32-bit and 64-bit services.
