I have a Inno Setup file containing code like :

But after installing, getting process code 1639 (wrong arguments error code)

Just want to know how to pass parameter with sc create command as you see in the run script of the give code.

CodePudding user response：

You have two problems:

• You are missing the trailing quote (needs to be doubled according to Inno Setup syntax).
• The inner quotes in binPath need to be escaped.
  See When creating a service with sc.exe how to pass in context parameters?

So your commandline won't work even standalone, let alone in Inno Setup.

The correct syntax is:

"create ByTestService start= auto binPath=""\""{app}\{#MyAppExeName}\"" ThisisParameter"""

Note: the backslash in \"" (twice) and the three trailing quotes """ (first two for trailing quote in sc binPath and the third to match the leading quote in Parameters).

This ultimately executes:

cs create ByTestService start= auto binPath="\"C:\Program Files (x86)\Accenture\Vytelle.DataService.Worker.exe\" ThisisParameter"
