How do I start/stop/create/remove/check a service?

There are currently 6 known methods to handle services using NSIS scripting:

• Use Sunjammer's services plug-in: Services.zip (20 KB).
• Use dselkirk's NSIS Service Lib.
• Use sl's nsSCM
• Use doberlec's all-in-one Swiss scripting knife - Nopey.
• Use Speed78's NSIS Simple Service Plugin
• Execute the NET command (use Exec, ExecWait or nsExec).
• Execute your service EXE with special command line switches telling it what to do (use Exec, ExecWait or nsExec).
• Execute sc.exe that comes with WinXP (C:\windows\system32\sc.exe). Also allows to define specific user account to run the service.

Addition to Sunjammer's services plug-in to autostart services

// in sendservicecommand.c
else if (stricmp("autostart",command) == 0)
   {
    okay = ChangeServiceConfig(hService,
     SERVICE_NO_CHANGE,SERVICE_AUTO_START,SERVICE_NO_CHANGE ,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL );
   }
   else if (stricmp("manualstart",command) == 0)
   {
    okay = ChangeServiceConfig(hService,
     SERVICE_NO_CHANGE,SERVICE_DEMAND_START,SERVICE_NO_CHANGE ,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL );
   }
