I have legacy C++ code that changes a process DACL and am trying to use the managed code classes in .NET 3.5. I found code on the web where someone created a SetAclOnServices class that extends the NativeObjectSecurity class for services. I thought that I could implement this and just change the ResourceType.Service to ResourceType.KernelObject but when I call GetAccessControl it fails with File Not Found error.
