Problem with installing a service with nsSCM

Hi!

I try to install a Windows service and want it to use a specific account to run the service.

Unfortunately it is installed using the local system account, no matter what I use as userid/password in the call:

nsSCM::Install "NTP" "Network Time Protocol Daemon" 16 2 \

  "$INSTDIR\bin\ntpd.exe $BIGSTEP-c $\"$CONFIG_FILE$\"" "" \

  "Tcpip" $SERVICE_UID $SERVICE_PWD

I use a MessageBox to be sure that $SERVICE_UID and $SERVICE_PWD contain the correct values.

Anything I miss here?

Thank you,
Heiko

Talking to myself 🙂

I looked into the sources of nsSCM and found out that the author did not implement creating a service with a username/password.

I added the parameter handling and things are working fine, now.

If anyone is interested in getting the fixed version, please let me know. Maybe the author? I'll try to contact him/her...

Kind regards,
Heiko

Last post by you was almost a year ago.

Hi there!

Yes, I uploaded a new version of the nsscm and it includes the feature to install a service using a given userid and password.

So, should work now. Any problems?

Kind regards,
