BUG: ControlService API Fails with a GetLastError() of 1053

ID: Q202069

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API), included with:
- Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

SYMPTOMS

If the ControlService() API is called simultaneously from different threads to stop running services, the function may fail and a call to GetLastError() may return 1053. This failure can occur even though the service reports its current status to the service control manager in a timely fashion.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

When a service controller application decides to stop a running service, it calls ControlService() with SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP as the control code.

Some ControlService() calls may return successfully while others may fail. This error can occur, even if the threads calling ControlService() are in separate processes.
