No, the problem is passing a member function pointer.  A member function 
pointer is not type-compatible with a function pointer with the same 
parameter types, regardless of whether they have the same calling 
convention.

ServiceMain has to be a static member or free function.  If you really 
need to pass your own argument(s) to it then use a static variable or 
TLS slot.
