Download the software, then run:

make i_read_and_agree_the_license_agreement

You should not be prompted

So? you can use "make" on windows

Download the source code and compile it yourself on windows

Ok I see. Sorry I assumed it is the same compilation process.

I don't have windows, so unfortunately I can't try this.
In the BUILD_WINDOWS.TXT it says you can run "BuildAll.cmd" which will compile the project and store the result in the output/ directory.
Can you try this?

Also if the program is prompting for arguments, what are those arguments?

you can use the tool "expect" to automate inputting the parameters
http://expect.sourceforge.net/
There are alot of tutorials on how to use "expect"

Cheers

I think "sc" command is useful for your purpose.

Try to register vpnbridge_x64.exe / vpnbridge.exe to Windows service.
