Windows service running in a Anaconda environment?

Question

I need to run a Flask application as a Windows service. I managed to convert it to a Windows service using win32serviceutil. The problem I have is that it only works when I manually run PythonService.exe (with the -debug flag) from the "activated" environment (of course).

Is there a way to activate the environment before attempting to run the service?

I see some people used the Task Scheduler as a workaround but I'd prefer if Windows service manager could be used instead.

I figured it out. The trick is to use pyinstaller to generate an EXE. This way all libraries will be included, and there will be no need to mess with the system environment variables.
