How to find out if service is installed (nof: if running !)

[Frank Callone]

How do I find out from Command line if a service with the name e.g. "xxyyzz" is currently installed ?

Note that the question is NOT if the service is currently running. It could be stopped.

But in must be installed.

If I type

net start

only the installed AND running services are listed.

What is the command line command for service installation detection ?
It should be applicable under WinXP AND Win2000.

Type: sc query xxyyzz

xxyyzz must be the Service name *not* the Display name.

Type: sc /? for help.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click the service |
On the General tab, Service name: take note of the Service Name not the
Display Name | Close Services

Opening Services, like above will also tell you if the service is installed.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services will also tell you if
the service is installed.

You could use this command:

srvinfo \\%Computername%. It comes with the Technical Resource
Kit Professional. Its output looks like this:

Services:
[Stopped] Alerter
[Stopped] Application Management
[Stopped] Background Intelligent Transfer Service
[Running] Computer Browser
[Running] CAISafe
[Stopped] Indexing Service
[Stopped] ClipBook
[Running] DynDNS-Updater
[Running] DHCP Client
[Stopped] Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service
[Running] Logical Disk Manager
[Running] DNS Client
[Running] Event Log
[Running] COM+ Event System
[Stopped] Fax Service
[Running] Server
[Running] Workstation
[Running] TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service
[Stopped] TCP/IP Print Server
[Running] Messenger

Open up the registry editor and go to;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

All services installed are listed here.

sc query "xxyyzz"

You can get sc.exe (service controller tool) here.
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip

sc.exe natively exists in Windows XP Professional

Here is a script that will list all the services and in what state the
service is in. Note if the Service is disabled, it will show as stopped.
After the script has run, it will create a file called "Services.txt" on
your Desktop. Name the file "Services.vbs" or download the file here

Note: Some lines may wrap.

'List all Services and Service State
Set wshshell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set fso = Wscript.CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
nName = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
nName = nName & "\Services.txt"
Set n = fso.CreateTextFile(nName, true)

For Each objService in colRunningServices
