Custom command line options is lost after service install

[Paul Durbin]

I've used AddCommandLineSwitch and AddCommandLineDefinition to add custom switches and parameters. These work fine from the command line but when I run install with the same parameters the custom settings aren't added to the service imagepath reg key.

To get them tp work I have to edit the service imagepath reg key.

IS there a way to get these automatically added when I install the service?

I don't think there is currently a way to handle this, sorry.

I'm not sure what type of option would make sense for the install command to add additional command-line arguments.

service.exe install -arguments "-a -b:c"

Hmm, seems like escaping quotes would be needed as well if quotes are in the command-line.

Chiming in with a use case:

I need to run multiple instances of the same TopShelf Service, but with different names.

I can do that now by providing a different service name during install.

The service is processing messages from queues and every instance will listen to its own queue.

I would prefer to give it as an install argument as it is the only thing that differs from each instance.

over & out & best regards
