Help fixing NSIS Service Lib
Hi,

I found a bug in the NSIS Service Lib [1] but I don't know how to fix it. According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx the "depend" parameter must consists of a two-dimensional array, where each dependency is null-terminated and the final one is doubly null-terminated. The current plugin doesn't do this so passing multiple dependencies always fails.

How do I construct a two-dimensional array as CreateService is asking for in NSIS?

Thanks,
Gili

Maybe consider using another plugin: try Simple Service plugin http://nsis.sourceforge.net/NSIS_Simple_Service_Plugin

That's what I ended up doing. Can someone please edit the Wiki for Service Lib and indicate the existence of this bug? We don't want other people getting caught in the same surprise.
