ServiceParameters
When an
object is written as a Win32 service and installed for use by OLE through
setting the LocalService
named value under the AppID
key, the ServiceParameters named-value can be set to pass the given
parameter on the command line when the service is launched.
Registry Entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\APPID\
{ AppID_value}\ServiceParameters
= parameter
Remarks
The parameter
value for the ServiceParameters named-value is any REG_SZ string value.
This string is passed on the command line to the service as it is being
launched.
For example,
the following keys register the c:\mydb\mydb.exe executable to launch as the
MyDatabase service when activated remotely. When launched as a service, the
process receives -Service on its command-line.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\APPID\{ c5b7ac20-523f-11cf-8117-00aa00389b71}\LocalService
= MyDatabase
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\APPID\{ c5b7ac20-523f-11cf-8117-00aa00389b71}\ServiceParameters
= -Service
Refer to the
Win32 SDK documentation about services and the SECSVR sample Distributed COM
application for more information about writing, installing, and debugging Win32
services.
