Can you advice me how to get "Log On As" parameter of specific windows service? I need to re-register service in our upgrade project and it needs to be run under the same account as it was set up originally. I've found QueryServiceConfig in advapi32.dll with lpServiceStartName in returned structure but I am not able to make it work from Inno Setup.
You cannot use QueryServiceConfig
function from InnoSetup script. To use this function, you would have to allocate buffer from heap and that's impossible in InnoSetup. Instead you can use WMI, or to be more specific, the Win32_Service
WMI class, which contains the StartName
property, that you've asked for. In InnoSetup script it might look like this:
[Setup]
AppName=My Program
AppVersion=1.5
DefaultDirName={pf}\My Program
[Code]
function GetServiceStartName(const AServiceName: string): string;
var
WbemLocator: Variant;
WbemServices: Variant;
WbemObject: Variant;
WbemObjectSet: Variant;
begin;
Result := '';
WbemLocator := CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
WbemServices := WbemLocator.ConnectServer('localhost', 'root\CIMV2');
WbemObjectSet := WbemServices.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_Service ' +
'WHERE Name = "' + AServiceName + '"');
if not VarIsNull(WbemObjectSet) and (WbemObjectSet.Count > 0) then
begin
WbemObject := WbemObjectSet.Item('Win32_Service.Name="' +
AServiceName + '"');
if not VarIsNull(WbemObject) then
Result := WbemObject.StartName;
end;
end;
procedure SvcStartNameTestButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
MsgBox(GetServiceStartName('Netlogon'), mbInformation, MB_OK);
end;
procedure InitializeWizard;
var
SvcStartNameTestButton: TNewButton;
begin
SvcStartNameTestButton := TNewButton.Create(WizardForm);
SvcStartNameTestButton.Parent := WizardForm;
SvcStartNameTestButton.Left := 8;
SvcStartNameTestButton.Top := WizardForm.ClientHeight -
SvcStartNameTestButton.Height - 8;
SvcStartNameTestButton.Width := 175;
SvcStartNameTestButton.Caption := 'Get service start name...';
SvcStartNameTestButton.OnClick := @SvcStartNameTestButtonClick;
end;
Quite easier (and probably faster) would be to make an external library and call it from the script. If you have Delphi or Lazarus, you can use the following function, which uses the QueryServiceConfig
function to get the lpServiceStartName
member, that you asked for:
function GetServiceStartName(const AServiceName: string): string;
var
BufferSize: DWORD;
BytesNeeded: DWORD;
ServiceHandle: SC_HANDLE;
ServiceManager: SC_HANDLE;
ServiceConfig: PQueryServiceConfig;
begin
Result := '';
ServiceManager := OpenSCManager(nil, nil, SC_MANAGER_CONNECT);
if ServiceManager <> 0 then
try
ServiceHandle := OpenService(ServiceManager, PChar(AServiceName),
SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG);
if ServiceHandle <> 0 then
try
if not QueryServiceConfig(ServiceHandle, nil, 0, BufferSize) and
(GetLastError = ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) then
begin
ServiceConfig := AllocMem(BufferSize);
try
if QueryServiceConfig(ServiceHandle, ServiceConfig, BufferSize,
BytesNeeded)
then
Result := ServiceConfig^.lpServiceStartName;
finally
FreeMem(ServiceConfig);
end;
end;
finally
CloseServiceHandle(ServiceHandle);
end;
finally
CloseServiceHandle(ServiceManager);
end;
end;
