Determine a NT service's executable name ?

[Harald Schneider]

Hi,

is there a possibility how to determine a services executable file name (and
path) from within the service itself ?

I need to create multiple services of the same application. The app needs to
read a config file, which name depends on the name of the application's
executable itself. So hardcoding it in the registry is no solution ...

sys.executable (although you should make sure that this returns the
right thing in the py2exe'd file)

win32api.GetModuleFileName(0)
