Thanks for looking at this guys. Have updated the strcpy line.. I''m
still having problems though..

I''m pretty sure it''s coming from the 2 lines:

dispatch_table = [""].pack(''p'') +
[svc_main.address].pack(''L'') + "\0"*8
if(!StartServiceCtrlDispatcher(dispatch_table)) ....

I could be mistaken, but StartServiceCtrlDispatcher should fire the
svc_main win32 callback which never happens on my machine. I''ve spent
the past few days trying to see if I could fix it myself but I''m a
little stuck..

Am I right in understanding that the dispatch_table variable is just
trying to imitate a pointer to a service_table_entry struct? Does this
work for you guys doing it this way? It just hangs for me at this
point for about 5 seconds and then exits.

Was about to start playing with the gem ffi to see if I could create
an array of structs that way and just pass the actual pointer from
that? A bit unsure of how to tackle it at the moment, any suggestions?
