Windows Service Dependency

[Michael Bird]

I have a windows service written in .NET that requires other serives to be
started before it starts. How do I tell the system what other services my
service depends on?

Thanks for any help.

Mike

Mike,

Take a look at System.ServiceProcess.ServicesDependedOn in the docs and that
should get you started. I'm making the assumption that you want to set this
when you install, not manually.
