Win32 service

Hello,

I'm trying to add a application as a service in Windows XP Pro

I'm using the following code grabbed from KirbyBase:

svc = Service.new("localhost")
    svc.create_service do |s|
        s.service_name = "TBWin32ReportingAgt"
        s.binary_path_name = 'C:\\TBWin32\\TB Reporting
Agent\\TBWin32ReportingAgt.exe'
        s.display_name = "TBWin32 Reporting Agt"

        # This is required for now - bug in win32-service
        s.dependencies = []
   end
    svc.close
    puts "TBWin32 Server service installed"

When I run this I get the following:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/win32-service-0.6.1-x86-mswin32-60/lib/win32/serv
ice.rb:277:in `initialize': no options provided (ArgumentError)
        from s.rb:6:in `new'
        from s.rb:6

You're using 0.5 win32-service syntax. with 0.6 you need to construct
everything in inside the new block:

http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/85/595/service.html

HTH,

If I use the following code:

Service.create('TBWin32Agt', nil,
      :service_type => Service::WIN32_OWN_PROCESS,
      :description => ' Reporting Agent',
      :start_type => Service::AUTO_START,
      :error_control => Service::ERROR_NORMAL,
      :binary_path_name => 'C:\\TBWin32\\TB Reporting
Agent\\TBWin32ReportingAgt.exe',
      :load_order_group => 'Network',
      :dependencies => ['W32Time','Schedule'],
      :service_start_name => '',
      :password => '',
      :display_name => 'TBWin32RptAgt',
   )

I get "unexpected )" error

That's because there is a ',' before the ) ... a silly typo, just
remove it.

You've got a trailing comma after 'TBWin32RptAgt'. Ruby doesn't like that.

I tried removing that , before I'll try again
