You can use erlsrv in your ejabberd1.1.2/bin directory to add ejabberd as a Windows Service. See this post by Peterzt.

I've missed ' chars on strings, so working version is:

erlsrv add ejabberd -env ERL_MAX_PORT=32000 -env EJABBERD_MSGS_PATH="../lib/ejabberd-1.1.2/priv/msgs/" -env EJABBERD_CONFIG_PATH="../conf/ejabberd.cfg" -env EJABBERD_SO_PATH="../lib/ejabberd-1.1.2/priv/lib/windows/" -env EJABBERD_LOG_PATH="../logs/ejabberd.log" -w "E:\Program Files\ejabberd-1.1.2\bin" -sname ejabberd@localhost -args "-kernel inetrc '\"../conf/inetrc.win\"' -mnesia dir '\"../database/ejabberd\"' -sasl sasl_error_logger {file,'\"../logs/sasl.log\"'} -setcookie ejabberd -s ejabberd"

erlsrv has very usefull -debugtype parameter which helped me.

AFAIR, the new(er) Windows installers do not yet support installing ejabberd as a service. You can use an older ejabberd version, you can build ejabberd yourself using the instructions in the Guide, or you can wait until support is added again (I guess this is on Process-One's TODO list).
