    hi !

    I used this command : new-service, like it is shown in the Posh help. The service correctly install itself but it can't start, or it starts and stops quickly...

    new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\tmp\mysoft.exe"

    I tried too like this :

    new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\tmp\mysoft.exe -k netsvcs"

    Is it something else to do more than in the Posh help ?

    Thanks for examples, and help...

    Did you start PowerShell using "Run as administrator"?

    I tried the sc method :

    sc create TestService binpath= "C:\tmp\mysoft.exe"

    [SC] CreateService réussite(s)

    But the EventLog returns the same error messages...

    This isn't a scripting question, is it? It sounds more like the fact that your program doesn't run properly as a service and you need help with that. Unfortunately this is not the forum for that question.

    You might first try getting support from the vendor of the application that produces the executable.

    You cannot use a standard EXE as a service.  It is missing a specific handler function that allows the service controller ot communicate with the process.  It must return its stqrtup sate or the SC will timeout and destroy the process.

    Also can you confirm me that this command is correct ?

    new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\tmp\mysoft.exe"

    or this one ?

    new-service -name TestService -binaryPathName "C:\tmp\mysoft.exe -k netsvcs"

    or twice ?

    Thanks for your last answer. An have a beautiful Sunday ! ;)

    Here is a way to do this using the Resource Kit.

    I can confirm that that won't work.

    You cannot run any standard EXEs under the 'netsvcs' service.  This service is reserved for MIcrosoft network components.

    You cannot run any standard EXE as a service using this comamnd.

    If you actually run the examples inHELP you will find that they do not work.  Use of the svchost to inject a service intoi teh system can be dangerous.  It is also likely that the service will be created but it will never start.  You will see 'StartPending' forever.

    The NewService class ius intended to be used to create workflow tasks.  The binary will be a workflow management module that is bound to teh workflow task script.

    The documentation is stillpending on this.  I suspect iti si used in management modules but not yet released for commojn use because of teh ability of this to misbehave.

    You might try checking the PowerSHell Team blog for more background on workflows.

    I have don Workflow in teh older systems.  They do similar things but the mechanosism is hidden and we only work with the compiled objects.  The WOrkflow compiler injects the correct binding code into the executable to make it work with the workflow controller.  You cannot jsut use an EXE to make this work.  It must be a special EXE or object built by the workflow system.  I suspect that PowerShell Workflow is a wrapper around this.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
