Modifying the “Path to executable” of a windows service

Name: Modifying the “Path to executable” of a windows service Submitted: 13 Apr 2016 Submitter: www.yourforum.gr Category: Windows Tutorials Views: 373 Rating: 0 Description: I'd like to modify the path to my application, but doing so breaks it because the service still points to the old location. By going to Administrative Tools > Services you can open a properties dialog and view the Path to executable, but there is no way to change it. Is there any way a user can modify the service path without having to reinstall the application ?

Directions

It involves editing the registry, but service information can be found in CODE HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services. Find the service you want to redirect, locate the ImagePath subkey and change that value. Source : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7190480/modifying-the-path-to-executable-of-a-windows-service
