Hi,
I have a service written with Win32::Daemon that sets a dependency on
the WMI service. The hash looks like this:
my %ServiceHash = (
name => "SystemsAppInstallation",
display => "SystemsAppInstallation",
dependencies => [ "winmgmt" ],
user => "",
password => "",
parameters => "C:\\Build\\InstallAppsService.pl -run",
path => $^X,
service_type => SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS |
SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS,
);
this works perfectly - the service installs as expected. Now I'm trying
to add a second dependency as follows:
my %ServiceHash = (
name => "SystemsAppInstallation",
display => "SystemsAppInstallation",
dependencies => [ "winmgmt", "lanmanworkstation" ],
user => "",
password => "",
parameters => "C:\\Build\\InstallAppsService.pl -run",
path => $^X,
service_type => SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS |
SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS,
);
and have run into problems. The dependency is now created incorrectly
as:
winmgmts
lanmanwork
tation
ie the "s" is replaced by a null character. Export with regedit of the
DependOnService value gives the following:
"DependOnService"=hex(7):77,69,6e,6d,67,6d,74,00,6c,61,6e,6d,61,6e,77,6f
,72,6b,\
00,74,61,74,69,6f,6e,00,00
Editing it to the correct value and then exporting yields this:
"DependOnService"=hex(7):77,69,6e,6d,67,6d,74,00,6c,61,6e,6d,61,6e,77,6f
,72,6b,\
73,74,61,74,69,6f,6e,00,00
Has anyone else come across this bizarre bug in Win32::Daemon? I found
one reference to it here:

Not sure whether Dave Roth is currently maintaining the module or not
but I'll send a copy of this mail to him.
I guess I can get around it by editing the depency field using
Win32::TieRegistry directly after installation, but it's a bit messy...
Cheers
Paul
