In the following example, a service configuration program uses the OpenService function to get a handle with DELETE access to an installed service object. The program then uses the service object handle in the DeleteService function to remove the service from the SCM database.
VOID DeleteSampleService()
{
schService = OpenService(
schSCManager, // SCManager database
TEXT("Sample_Srv"), // name of service
DELETE); // only need DELETE access
if (schService == NULL)
MyErrorExit("OpenService");
if (! DeleteService(schService) )
MyErrorExit("DeleteService");
else
printf("DeleteService SUCCESS\n");
CloseServiceHandle(schService);
}
