How to restart service using command prompt?

Question

I want to restart Windows service using command prompt in [Icons] section using Inno Setup. Please help me to solve the problem.

Answer 1

To restart a running service:

net stop "service name" && net start "service name"

However, if you don't know if the service is running in the first place and want to restart or start it, use this:

net stop "service name" & net start "service name"

This works if the service is already running or not.

For reference, here is the documentation on conditional processing symbols.
