Thanks David,
that sort of worked, it registered the service but wouldn't run it.
It is Ok for an EXE service but the Dll service needs to use the following
command
C:\winnt\system32\dllhost.exe /ProcessID:{[AppID]} // where AppID
represents my Dll

And I'm trying to find some information about how to get the AppID for my
Dlll
