It is more interesting what is happening after pc.start()
Do you do a waitForFinished?
Is there end of the method and your pc is deleted immediately? -

Hi, no I don't do a waitForFinished and yes it is the end of the method so pc is deleted. -

Hi, waitForFinished() returns true but the service isn't still added in the list of services. -

I do not have enough experience with services.I assume that you have checked the syntax of your command externally and it works fine from command line. Therefore, the only I can recommend is to start your application from outside of Qt creator environment. If you have checked this already and it does not work either, I am of no help here.

HI, I change the code and used QProcess::execute and it didn't add the service and after that I have found a solution: if I execute my program "as administrator" in Windows then it add my service to the list of service and it is ok so perhaps there is another solution with win32 functions instead of QProcess that runs an external program as administrator.... -

So it was basically a missing admin rights issue.
AFAIK there is no other way than QProcess. Also it would be quite dangerous to be able to plant some applications with admin rights from an application with no admin rights. Any decent virus scan prevent this anyhow. -

it is out of subject on this forum, but I tested with the win32 function Shellexecute and "runas" as second parameter instead of qprocess and it created my service.so I mark this subject solved.thanks. -
