Delphi Service Application: How to install the service by passing parameters that will be read via code when running?

I created a simple service application by Delphi.

I need that at the time of installing the service in windows, I pass some parameters that will be read and used at the time the service starts:

Example: myServiceApp /install -arg1 -arg2

I tried that way but it doesn’t work. I also tried to "force" the boot parameters by the property of the installed service, but I could not get the value of this parameter via Paramstr().

How to pass these initial parameters and how to read the value from Delphi?

I was able to solve it this way:

Parâmetros na inicialização do serviço

  1. I added the parameters to the service property.
  2. In the Onstart() event in Delphi, I can get the values of these parameters through Param[index]:

  • I’m glad it did. But you couldn’t create an INI file with the parameters?

  • Yes, it was another option. Problem now is that when installing on the client server (Windows Server 2012) the service does not start (start).

  • some error right at startup... is to treat everything with Try catch and put on Viewer Event.
