Bad Net Start Return Code?
nsExec::Exec /TIMEOUT=700 "NET START sdfweflwiejflsdkfjsliefj" SH_HIDE
pop $0
MessageBox MB_OK "Trying to start :sdfweflwiejflsdkfjsliefj RESULT:$0"


Returning 2.. no matter what the test is a valid service or not..... Clearly this is not right. Any ideas?


This exists in my code...

${Switch} $0
${Case} "0"
DetailPrint " Service was started."
Goto EndServiceTest
${Case} "1"
DetailPrint " Service was not supported."
Goto EndServiceTest
${Case} "2"
DetailPrint " Service is running."
Goto EndServiceTest
${Case} "8"
DetailPrint " Unknown failure starting Service."
Goto EndServiceTest
${Case} "10"
DetailPrint " Installer has verified that Service is running."
Goto EndServiceTest
${EndSwitch}
EndServiceTest:

; These are the NET START return codes.
; gs_service_status( 0) = "Success"
; gs_service_status( 1) = "Not Supported"
; gs_service_status( 2) = "Access Denied"

What's SH_HIDE doing there? nsExec doesn't parse that parameter. Shouldn't cause it to always return 2, but something else might and you should therefore include the offending code itself and not a paraphrase of it.
