I completely agree with you that msconfig is supposed to grab the company name from the resources of the code file; the point of my post is that it's not doing that when I install the service through the ServiceInstall table. It only displays the company name if the service is self-registered from the command-line. I would assume that MSI invokes the CreateService API for entries in the ServiceInstall table, just as the self-registering code does, so I'm confused as to why it doesn't work. -kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
