It enables you to install the service start/stop it and so it can run without a concrete user is logged in and have the program running. (Note: The service must be stopped to allow the GUI to be used, since only one instance of iTunes is allowed).

DebugView

5. February 2010

DebugView is an application to monitor debug output.

From Microsoft TechNet:

DebugView is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both kernel-mode and Win32 debug output, so you don't need a debugger to catch the debug output your applications or device drivers generate, nor do you need to modify your applications or drivers to use non-standard debug output APIs.
