Can I set environment value for a service ?

Yes but it might be slightly complex and your service might not accept it.

There are 3 ways to do it :

- The first two is create a new service with instsrv et srvany from the resource kit :

- make the new service launch a cmd which will set the variable and launch directly the executable launched by the original service

- or make a new service launch a cmd which will modify in the registry the environment variable and then launch the service sleep a little and remove the added reg entry

-The third way is to use a specific user for this service and set the variable for this specific user only. This is the easiest way if your service support it.

I just put the service's exe path to "svc.cmd" , and create a service by

sc create XXX binPath= path\to\svc.cmd

but when I start it , met the error below

1053

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
