>   cygrunsrv -I svcname -u "NT SERVICE\svcname" -p ''

I'm not quite sure I follow your suggestion:

-p is for path to the actual executable that implements the background process

If you meant -w '' (or as documentation suggests '-w ') then it does not work
for some reason -- cygrunsrv cannot install the service (per the bad user/pass combo,
presumably).
