WMI StartService Parameter

Question

I am currently starting a Service in my C# code using WMI, and I would like to set its startup parameters.

Is there a way to do this? I couldn't find anything relevant so far.

Thanks in advance.

Thomas.

Check the open source project

Services+

Contains full usage of WMI with StartService

Example VB.Net:

Dim objPath = "\\ComputerName\root\cimv2:Win32_Service.Name='ServiceName'"
Using objService As New ManagementObject(objPath)
   Dim outParams = objService.InvokeMethod("StartService", Nothing)
   rtnVal.WmiValue = CInt(outParams)
End Using

Yes, and after a lot of investigation it appeared that it is not possible to send parameters at start of a service using WMI. Look my answer to see (second link) to see the solution I adopted. – Thomas KiTe Trentin Oct 24 '14 at 13:25
