Starting Service during Install

[NewsArchive]

My install successfully installs a service and sets the startup type to
"Automatic".

I can't see a way to have the service started though?

What I have used is...

1: create a one line batch file say, serstart.bat
containing

net start TheServicename

2: save the batch onto the destination drive

and then use SB to run it after the service is installed.

3: optionally, delete the batch file

works great.

Mike,

Everything is built-in (including uninstalling services), no need to use a
batch. Go to the "Services Visualizer" (or "Create Service..." script
item). In the Advanced tab, there is a "Start Service" option (set to
"Automatic" by default).

To (Start), Stop, Remove, Pause, Resume services, you can use the "Edit
Service..." script item.

Thanks Friedrich.

I did all that...it installed the service just fine and sets startup to
"Automatic".

It just does not actually start the service.

The Script item in has the same options as the visualizer.

Can you clarify a little more for me?

Thanks !

Good morning!

No....can you please tell me how to tell the services system to "Start" the
service?

Got it.

I did not realize that you were telling me to add a script item called "Edit
Service".

As you know I have an in-bred-at-birth problem understanding the script
system. Amazing that I wrote
ClarioNET in pure Clarion hand code eh?

Anyway I added the script item after the "Create Service" script item and
will test.

Thanks,

Mike

Just wanted to confirm that the Edit Service script worked perfectly.

Thank you....sorry for the impatient attitude.
