[edit] A bug

The schSCManager handle is not always valid. I Open and Close it in every function instead. Also the CHECK_HANDLE macro is invalid, it should check against NULL, not INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE

[edit] Info..

Hello, I like the PlugIn a lot and it solved nearly all of my problems. However, what is the suggested sequence to install/uninstall services (start, stop, wait for status?)? Thanks, jebur

[edit] Installing drivers

Hi, I just begun to use NSIS and I need to install and uninstall a pci device driver. Can´I use the NsSCM plug-in to do it? How do I do it? I saw the API but didn´t understood the parametters. Could you help me? Thanks.

[edit] I can't get the Service to Start

I'm using this to run a self made executable as a service. The executable has never had any problems running by itself. I've tried everything, the Service installs, I can edit every param under the sun, It shows up in the registry, etc. etc. but the service will not start no matter what. It says the following:
Could not start "my prog name" on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start control request in a timely fashion.

any feedback would be insanely appreciated.

Not every executable can be ran as a service. A service, as the error suggests, must respond to special messages sent only to services. Please use the forum for further questions regarding scripting. For help with service executables creation, it'd probably be better to get support from a programming forum. --kichik 03:45, 24 January 2007 (PST)
