? 2 questions about installing NT services

[Alec Soroudi]

Hi,

I'm trying to install a "Non-Plug and Play Driver" in XP using .BAT
files. I can do it by copying the .SYS file to %systemroot%, and merging a
..REG file that has the required info in

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\*****]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_*****\0000]

The problem is that after doing this I have to reboot for them to take
effect, after which they work flawlessly. I would however, like to not have
to reboot. In other words, I would like to add the driver to the services
database and start it.


### I know I can start the service with NET START *****, but how can I
first install/add it to the services db with a batch file?



### The other question is that the aforementioned .REG file dies when I
try to merge it because the ...\Enum\Root\... key is protected. I can
easily deal with this by allowing Administrator accounts access to it, but
would like an automatic (.BAT file) way of doing it.


Thanks

You could use sc.exe utility. With it you can add new services. The tool is
part of WinXP resouce kit, but I believe it's also available on Win2K
resource kit.

c:\>sc create

Creates a service entry in the registry and Service Database.
SYNTAX:
sc create [service name] [binPath= ] <option1> <option2>...
CREATE OPTIONS:
NOTE: The option name includes the equal sign.
type= <own|share|interact|kernel|filesys|rec>
(default = own)
start= <boot|system|auto|demand|disabled>
(default = demand)
error= <normal|severe|critical|ignore>
(default = normal)
binPath= <BinaryPathName>
group= <LoadOrderGroup>
tag= <yes|no>
depend= <Dependencies(separated by / (forward slash))>
obj= <AccountName|ObjectName>
(default = LocalSystem)
DisplayName= <display name>
password= <password>

Wonderful thanks! It worked like a charm!

As for the permission thing, I can do that with REGINI and that works as
well, but with SC I don't need it.


Thanks!
