A service configuration program uses the CreateService function to install a service in the SCM database.
The SvcInstall function in the following example shows how to install a service from the service program itself. For the complete example, see Svc.cpp.
//
// Purpose:
// Installs a service in the SCM database
//
// Parameters:
// None
//
// Return value:
// None
//
VOID SvcInstall()
{
SC_HANDLE schSCManager;
SC_HANDLE schService;
TCHAR szUnquotedPath[MAX_PATH];
if( !GetModuleFileName( NULL, szUnquotedPath, MAX_PATH ) )
{
printf("Cannot install service (%d)\n", GetLastError());
return;
}
// In case the path contains a space, it must be quoted so that
// it is correctly interpreted. For example,
// "d:\my share\myservice.exe" should be specified as
// ""d:\my share\myservice.exe"".
TCHAR szPath[MAX_PATH];
StringCbPrintf(szPath, MAX_PATH, TEXT("\"%s\""), szUnquotedPath);
// Get a handle to the SCM database.
schSCManager = OpenSCManager(
NULL, // local computer
NULL, // ServicesActive database
SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS); // full access rights
if (NULL == schSCManager)
{
printf("OpenSCManager failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());
return;
}
// Create the service
schService = CreateService(
schSCManager, // SCM database
SVCNAME, // name of service
SVCNAME, // 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
szPath, // path to service's binary
NULL, // no load ordering group
NULL, // no tag identifier
NULL, // no dependencies
NULL, // LocalSystem account
NULL); // no password
if (schService == NULL)
{
printf("CreateService failed (%d)\n", GetLastError());
CloseServiceHandle(schSCManager);
return;
}
else printf("Service installed successfully\n");
CloseServiceHandle(schService);
CloseServiceHandle(schSCManager);
}
