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

This is my code, to start/stop a Windows service using SC command. If the service fails to start/stop, it will print a log info. You can try it by Inno Setup.

{ start a service }
Exec(ExpandConstant('{cmd}'), '/C sc start ServiceName', '',
     SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);
Log('sc start ServiceName:'+SysErrorMessage(ResultCode));

{ stop a service }
Exec(ExpandConstant('{cmd}'), '/C sc stop ServiceName', '',
     SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);
Log('sc stop ServiceName:'+SysErrorMessage(ResultCode));
