Installing/Starting a service

[NewsArchive]

I have a utility that needs to be installed as a service.

When asked how to install this service the provider supplied this response:

You can install the Windows Service "NewService Service" using the dos sc.exe tool in a batch file:

sc create astcc binPath= "C:\Windows\System32\NewService.exe"
sc start NewService

I have read about services in SetupBuilder but am hesitant to move forward.

Any advice...or is it as simple as it looks ?

Michael,

It is that simple. I've got 4 batch files on my client's server so he can
handle services. One to install it, another to start it, another to stop
it, and another to uninstall it.

He maintains a Clarion app that runs nightly reports, directed to specific
printers as a service. Works great.

Hi Mike,

Use the "Edit Service..." script function and you are done :-) You can
Start, Stop, Remove, Pause, and Resume a service using this built-in
SetupBuilder function.

BTW, the "Check Service..." can be used to determine whether a particular
Windows Service is running.

Does this help?
