I have the following statements:

Set Variable ISSERVICERUNNING to 
Check Service State for MyService (write result into variable ISSERVICERUNNING)
MessageBox: $TITLE$, service: $ISSERVICERUNNING$
if Variable $ISSERVICERUNNING$ Equals RUNNING
  MessageBox: $TITLE$, in if block
end

When I debug with MyService running, I get a message box stating that the service is RUNNING and I go into my if block (pops up another message box).

When I run with MyService running, I get a message box stating that the service is RUNNING but I do not go into my second if block (no message box stating i'm in the if block).

The IDE already warns you about this (unless you turned tips off), but don't use $ signs in fields where variables are already expected:

Code: Select all

if Variable $ISSERVICERUNNING$

is wrong;

Code: Select all

if Variable ISSERVICERUNNING

is correct.

My bad copying the code into this post.

Code: Select all

Set Variable ISSERVICERUNNING to
Check Service State for MyService (write result into variable ISSERVICERUNNING)
MessageBox: $TITLE$, service: $ISSERVICERUNNING$
if Variable ISSERVICERUNNING Equals RUNNING
  MessageBox: $TITLE$, in if block
end

It doesn't actually have the $ signs around the ISSERVICERUNNING in the if block.

It does not work.

I created a simple script like this:

Code: Select all

Check Service State for Themes (write result into variable TEST_SERVICE)
MessageBox: Testing Service, $TEST_SERVICE$
if Variable TEST_SERVICE Equals RUNNING
  MessageBox: Test service..., is running!
end

Which works exactly as expected.
