A service is an application in my opinion.

You do not have to do anything with the application/TServerSocket.

That I do not understand: you can only run it manually /after/ windows started.
But not during I would think. You could let windows start it automaticaly
too at startup as a normal application. So there are three cases.

Does your application/TServerSocket work (accepting connections from internet)
if you start it by hand ?

Within Windows Firewall you can manually add (server)programs that should not
be blocked. Untested: Just add your serviceapplication.
