how to install/register a windows service programatically?

hi, I have created a windows service using ATL wizard in visual c++ 6.0. How do i register, start and stop the service programatically
Is there any other way to create a service( not to be an exe)

Visual C++12

See Creating a Simple Win32 Service in C++

You have to add an entry in registry in order to register your service. and StartServiceCtrlDispatcher can be used to Spawn the service. Please see the example

Thanks for the response

I have a working version service that i created. It is an exe. now i want to register and start the service programatically.

I can register and run from command line( as it is an exe)

i register it by the following command

myservice -/RegServer

and start the service by

net start myservice.

but i want to register and start through another program. i will my post registration and starting code.

by this code i am able to register but not able to start
