Service.Create ("Automatic Start (Delayed)")

[MBSweb]

Was wondering if anyone ever figured out how to set a Service.Create to .. like subject line .. "Automatic Start (Delayed)"?

First, create the service normally with an "Automatic" start. If the operation finished successfully, you would then add a REG_DWORD value with "1" named "DelayedAutostart" to the registry key you created. The key would be typically found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\[Service name].

Here is a screenshot to illustrate the data you need to change / insert via Lua action:

Thank you. I will test this out.

Another option if you didn't want to edit the registry.
result1 = Shell.Execute(SessionVar.Expand(_SystemFolder.."\\ cmd.exe"), "open", "/C start sc.exe config NameOfTheService start= delayed-auto", "_SystemFolder", SW_HIDE, true)
