I'm not sure what you mean by the parent service. The situation that I observe
here is that the service with the missing dependency gets started by services.exe
and that service is crashing because it apparently doesn't check for missing
functionality. An attempt to start such a service under Windows with 'sc start'
fails with ERROR_SERVICE_DEPENDENCY_DELETED error.
