The install happens [here](https://github.com/taskcluster/generic-worker/blob/v14.1.0/plat_windows.go#L471-L488). It calls [deployService](https://github.com/taskcluster/generic-worker/blob/v14.1.0/plat_windows.go#L543-L585) which installs the executable using nssm. Note, it relies on the nssm executable being on the local filesystem, and uses it to execute the nssm commands to create the windows service. In order not to use nssm, we should use the native packages of the go standard library for creating a Windows service. The standard library also comes with an [example implementation](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/windows/svc/example). Any questions, let me know!
