I'd like to run

   sc stop fcgi1

before I compile an FCGI project. But defining it in project options
as attached image does not work.
How can I do this?

Is that a proper representation of what you use for input ? I ask
because in teh picture I do not see a clear (back)slash rather a
striked W.

I am not familiar with sc, is it interactive (e.g. does it wait for
you to press a key or answer a question) ?

For test (linux) I added a printf "hello world\n" and checked the
"show all output line" option. At compilation the messages window then
outputs "hello world". See also attached pictures.

The paths look funny with the strikethrough capital W. That does not
belong there.

Might be a regional thing. Paths in Japanese Windows use a Yen symbol
AFAIK. It could be similar here.

Does not make sense: the paths should adhere.

sc.exe is a Windows command, which can start, stop, install, or remove
Windows services.
The capital W with cancellation line is backslash in Korean. It does
not have any problem in paths.

I solved the issue by creating batch files. 

In the stopfcgi1.bat,

         d:\setups\nssm-2.24\win64\nssm.exe stop fcgi1

and in startfcgi1.bat,

         d:\setups\nssm-2.24\win64\nssm.exe start fcgi1


It is not important whether to use nssm or sc. I had to set my acount
up not to ask whether I'll allow nssm.exe change device (in Windows).

Now I can compile FCGI server files without any hassle.
