Structure definition
  Hi all!

I want to make change of a description of a service. And to do this i must call:

C++ code
SERVICE_DESCRIPTION sd;
sd.lpDescription = (char*)SvcDescription.c_str();
ChangeServiceConfig2( hService, SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION, &sd)

NSIS:
System::Call 'advapi32::ChangeServiceConfig2( hService, SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION, &sd)'

The problem that i have is how do i declare in NSIS sd structure?

See http://nsis.sourceforge.net/index.ph...&tx_faq_faq=35

One of the links on this page is for the Service Library which uses System and some structures.

Other System.dll structure examples can be found in Contrib\System.

Contact the author. If you can get a copy, I or another archive admin will upload it so it won't get lost again.

doberlec. I think he also has a forum user so you can use that to PM or e-mail.

Thanks guys for information.
I tried to make my own job, but i have some difficulties. Can some of you tell me what i did wrong?

this is what i have to do from c++:

typedef struct _SERVICE_DESCRIPTION {
LPTSTR lpDescription;
} SERVICE_DESCRIPTION, *LPSERVICE_DESCRIPTION;

BOOL ChangeServiceConfig2(
SC_HANDLE hService, // handle to service
DWORD dwInfoLevel, // information level
LPVOID lpInfo // new data
);

and i did this in script:

!define SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS 0xF01FF
!define SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS 0x3F
!define stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION "(t)i"
System::Call 'advapi32::OpenSCManagerA(n, n, i ${SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS}) i'
IntCmp $1 0 lbl_done
StrCpy $2 "0x10"
StrCpy $3 "0x3"
StrCpy $4 $ServiceName
StrCpy $5 $ProjectName
StrCpy $6 $MyPath
System::Call `advapi32::CreateServiceA(i r1, t r4, t r5, i ${SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS}, i r2, i r3, i 0, t r6, n, n, n, n, n) i.r7`
StrCmp $7 0 lbl_done lbl_good
lbl_good:
System::Call '${stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION}("My Description") .r8'
System::Call 'advapi32::ChangeServiceConfig2( i r7, i 1, i r8) i.r9'
StrCmp $9 0 0 +1
lbl_done:
System::Call 'advapi32::CloseServiceHandle(i r1) n'

The service it is installing ok, but the description it is not working.

You have the exact same problem in your code.

Try this (NOT TESTED), probably at least it will be closer to work correctly:

!define SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS 0xF01FF

>!define SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS 0x3F

>!define SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION 1

>!define stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION "(i)i"


>System::Call 'advapi32::OpenSCManagerA(n, n, \\

i ${SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS}) i'


>IntCmp $1 0 lbl_done

StrCpy$2 "0x10"

>StrCpy $3 "0x3"

>StrCpy $4 $ServiceName

StrCpy$5 $ProjectName

StrCpy$6 $MyPath


System::Call `advapi32::CreateServiceA(i r1, t r4, t r5, \\

i${SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS}, i r2, i r3, i 0, t r6, n, n, n, \\

n, n) i.r7`


>StrCmp $7 "" 0 lbl_good

  SetErrors

  Goto lbl_end


lbl_good:

>System::Call '*${stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION} .r8'

>System::Call 'advapi32::ChangeServiceConfig2(i r7, \\

i ${SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION}, i r8) i.r9'

>StrCmp $9 0 0 +2

  SetErrors


lbl_done:

>System::Call 'advapi32::CloseServiceHandle(i r1) n'

thanks deguix for the code. I works almost perfect, but i still don't know how to set the value for the description in structure:

!define stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION "(i)i"
System::Call '*${stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION} .r8'

I want to have somethig like "My descripton there"

Thnaks

Try this:

!define DESCRIPTION "My Description"


>!define SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS 0xF01FF 

>!define SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS 0x3F 

>!define SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION 1 

>!define stSERVICE_DESCRIPTION "(t)i" 


>System::Call 'advapi32::OpenSCManagerA(n, n, \\
