TransactedInsta ller.Install results in Service Already Installed

I am writing a service in C# with an internal service installer.

I am running XP Pro SP with VS7.1 and .NET 1.1

It installed okay the first time, but during uninstall the app crashed.

Now I am unable to install again:
Running a transacted installation.

Beginning the Install phase of the installation.
'FlightExchange Service.exe': Loaded
'c:\windows\ass embly\gac\syste m.windows.forms \1.0.5000.0__b7 7a5c561934e089\ system.windows. forms.dll', No symbols loaded.

Installing service FlightExchanger ...
Creating EventLog source FlightExchanger in log Application...

An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.Componen tModel.Win32Exc eption: The specified service already exists

The service does not appear to Exist. I checked the services list in the
service manager, and even enumerated through the SC Manager in code, but
could not see my service.

I have searched the registry and removed its EventLog source by deleting the
reg key. This appeared to have no effect.

I have spent all day today searching the net for solutions, and can find
nothing.

Is anyone able to help?

Over the last few days, I reinstalled Win2kSP2 to a spare harddrive I had just swapped into my Fujitsu LifeBook P1120 (long story <wink>). Subsequently, I DL'ed the newest Python alpha (2.4a2), and when trying to install it, I immediately got this error: This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service.

Hi, I developped a Windows Service in VB.NET (2005). I need to have it installed two times on 1 machine. When I want to install it a second time, the setup doesn't allow me to install it again in an other directory, but only to repair or remove the other version. I get arround this by simply copying the files of the first installed in a second directory.

I hope this is in the correct newsgroup. I have purchased and installed Visual Studio .Net 2003 under XP Professional. However, when I try to look at a VB.net sample web app, it will not open.

Some research (has left me confused) but I think these are both available with Windows Server 2003 standard edition, a CD of which came with Visual Studio. First, do I really need to...

Hi there, I'm designing an application in C#. One of the files in my application is "server.exe". This assembly listens for inbound connections and handles various incoming requests.

On my dev machine (XP/Pro with VS.NET 2003) I have been developing a Windows Service and installing it on the local machine by opening the Visual Studio Command Prompt and then executing . Now I want to test this service on a Windows Server 2003 box that doesn't have the Visual Studio Command prompt. How do I go about installing the service on the Windows Server 2003 box? Thanks!

Hi I am continually reminded that I have the .net 1.1 Service Pack 1 downloaded and available to install by Windows Update. However, it continually fails to install when selected.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
