Error when Register a Window service
I'd like to register a window service by Action "Register Window Service", For the "Executable to Register as window service", for example, if I set it as $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\xyz.exe, the service can be registered successfully. but if I want add an argument for the executable, such as $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\xyz.exe $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\abc.config, then there are below error in log:
Additional Notes: NOTE - Unable to locate executable to register as NT service. Deferring...
Then how can I register a service which use an executable with argument?

You may want to enclose the arguments in quotes if there is a space in the path.

Then it should be "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$\xyz.exe $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\abc.config"? or "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$\xyz.exe" "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$\abc.config"?
I tried, If I use $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\xyz.exe, the service can be registerred successfully, but $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\xyz.exe abc.config will fail.
