Installing a Service

A service configuration program uses the CreateService function to install a service in a SCM database. The application-defined schSCManager handle must have SC_MANAGER_CREATE_SERVICE access to the SCManager object. The following example shows how to install a service.

VOID CreateSampleService()

{

LPCTSTR lpszBinaryPathName =

TEXT("%SystemRoot%\\system\\testserv.exe");

schService = CreateService(

schSCManager, // SCManager database

TEXT("Sample_Srv"), // name of service

lpszDisplayName, // service name to display

SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, // desired access

SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, // service type

SERVICE_DEMAND_START, // start type

SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, // error control type

lpszBinaryPathName, // service's binary

NULL, // no load ordering group

NULL, // no tag identifier

NULL, // no dependencies

NULL, // LocalSystem account

NULL); // no password

if (schService == NULL)

MyErrorExit("CreateService");

else

printf("CreateService SUCCESS\n");

CloseServiceHandle(schService);

}
