How to start heka as service in windows 7

[vpriyada]

I have built the windows package for heka. As of now if I start heka using hekad from comamnd prompt heka starts as expected. How do I start heka as a service in windows? If i create heka as a service using windows service utility and start the service I get the error "The service did not respond in a timely fashion". Can any of you share your experiences in running heka as service in windows
