Windows Service Install Parameters?

Remoting SDK

Do anyone know how the parameters entry format for entering dependencies for the windows service /install.

Would like to know both for the command line and / or for the ROStartService if possible. Cannot find in the documentation.

In our startup Delphi code, we have:

if ROStartService(‘Is2_Hvac_Mobile_Server’, ‘Is2_Hvac_Mobile_Server’,‘Is2 HVAC Mobile Server - 2021’ ) then begin
ROService.CreateForm(TServerDataModule, ServerDataModule);
ROService.Run;
Exit;
end;

Determined by looking at the ROComboService.pas what the parameters should be and with a little trial and error. Works perfectly. Also learned a great deal about how the service names work. Very instructional. So just in case anyone else would like to know, I have included the code below.

   // Run As Windows Service
   if ROStartService('Is2_Hvac_Mobile_Server', 'Is2 Hvac Mobile Server','Is2 HVAC Mobile Server - 2021', stAuto , 'Is2_DbServer' ) then begin
     ROService.CreateForm(TServerDataModule, ServerDataModule);
 
    ServerDataModule.ROServer.Active := True;
 
     ROService.Run;
     Exit;
   end;

Make sure that you include both the uROComboService and SvcMgr units in the top uses statement. The SvcMgr unit has the stAuto type declaration for the windows service startup types.

Glad you found the answer — and my apologies for the lack of reply, but my colleague best suited to have answered this is off this week, so so this one got lost in the shuffle a bit…
