Check if a service is a Windows services.

[gabritb01]

Hi to all! I am not a professional developer, autoIT is only an hobby. I am coding a system manager GUI with more functions compared to services.msc. Is there a way to check if a service come preinstalled with windows or is related to user softwares that installs his own services? Now i am using StringInStr but I am having some false positive (some user services detected as Windows services because the name contains parts of Windows services). Thanks!

Each service is associated to an executable.

So you just have to retrieve the COMPANYNAME of the executable :

#Include <FileConstants.au3>

Local $version = FileGetVersion ( "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe", $FV_COMPANYNAME )
MsgBox(0, "", $version)
