| And to answer my own question, the way to pass in arguments is via the

| 
| service.ChangeStartMode(StartMode = "Automatic")

Yes, sorry about that, it's a well-known (to me) gotcha.
Basically there's no way I can extract the params from
the COM interface in a way which implies order, so I
can't take them in positionally. (Corrections to this
statement will be gratefully received).
