VServer on Windows and custom installation

Yes, it's necessary. First time launching VServer with -i
option you registers it as a Windows service. And then
only you can run it with -s option - to start it actually.

VServer also runs under Windows98 (Windows 95 not tested).
It runs as a service. So you don't need to add anything to the 
Startup folder.
