I think some static libraries need updating.

For example there is no "QueryServiceStatusEx" in PB's AdvAPI32.Lib

MSDN
QueryServiceStatus function
This function has been superseded by the QueryServiceStatusEx function

So instead of static import with Import "AdvAPI32" we need to use OpenLibrary/GetFunction (GetProcAddress/GetModuleHandle)

You can also use the Import keyword.

Mistrel, You did not understand the purpose of the request.
Can you compile this code?

Import "AdvAPI32.Lib"
  QueryServiceStatusEx(hService, InfoLevel, lpBuffer, cbBufSize, pcbBytesNeeded)
EndImport

QueryServiceStatusEx(0, 0, 0, 0, 0)

For the time until the libraries are updated, which also use the libraries from PellesC. They are a bit more up-to-date.
