Hi great Mr. Gambit,

I didn't think there could be things you can't face up easily :)

 I don't know if I've understood your trouble well, but maybe the way I
followed to install my services (see the other thread :) ) can be useful
some way even if different from yours: I use an external thin application as
installer, installing the services in the right sequence, but not only, when
getting errors querying the SCM, I can ask directly the service by using the
TCP/IP... I try to be clearer: by querying the communication port I can see
if the service is not active, or better if it is, by sending it a command I
can ask it to stop, restart ... without asking directly to the SCM!!
I don't know if I've been clear enough, sorry but I'm very hurry, and I
wanted to try to be useful someway:-)
