Help: Window Service App Error - Need Win Service Expert Help

[Van]

Developing in C++, .Net 2003 (7.1)
Running on Windows XP SP2

My delima is that all my windows services run fine until I STOP the service
at which time I get a "The windows service terminated unexpectidly" and the
"Send error to microsoft window." I debugged through MY code and it appears
to clean itself up properly. I don't see any memory leaks. The error occurs
after my ServiceMain exits. I can't debug any further as it appears to be in
the kernel.dll.

Is there something special (not disclosed in the docs or examples) that I
must do to keep this from happening?

Here is the last lines of my ServiceMain:

// Report our status one last time.
ServiceStatus.d wCurrentState = SERVICE_STOPPED ;
ServiceStatus.d wWin32ExitCode = 0;
ServiceStatus.d wCheckPoint += 1;
ServiceStatus.d wWaitHint = 0;
SetServiceStatu s(hStatus, &ServiceStatus) ;
} // ServiceMain

And here is the message from the EventLog:

Faulting application OSSExecute.EXE, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module
unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0012e7dc.

This is really annoying me as I can't figure out what the cause is.... Any
help would be appreciated.

FYI for those who find this post later.

The problem was my 'ServiceMain' function was *NOT* using the Windows API
calling convention. The MSDN documentation does show the calling convention
syntax however, the MSDN example (the one I have anyways) does NOT show using
the Windows API calling convention.

I had to change my ServiceMain function declaration from:

void ServiceMain(int argc, char* argv[])

to

VOID WINAPI ServiceMain(DWO RD argc, LPSTR* argv)

and that fixed my problem.

Explaination (as it was told to me):

The calling method of 'void ServiceMain' is '__cdecl' and it does not clean
up on its own and thus was corrupting the stacks.
