service and setup project wont uninstall

I have a setup project that installs a windows service. Including a
custom action to write a config file. It installs just fine, but when
i go to test the uninstall via the windows add/remove programs
dialogue, it doesnt uninstall the service registration. Is there
something Im missing with the set up project?

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've written a Windows service and added a Setup project to the solution. Is the only way to get the installation to run the InstallUtil part to actually install the executable as a service to add a Custom Action? And, if so, do I need to include InstallUtil.exe within the Setup.msi? Any assistance gratefully received.

Have you ever used a .net deployment project to install a windows service? If so, then i ran into an issue recently that maybe you could shed some light on. I am sure I probably did something wrong, but I am experiencing something weird and am not sure if it has something to do with the way the WindowServiceInstaller class was created or if i did something wrong in my deployment project. Basically what happens is that after I build the...

I'm doing Windows Service programming using C# 2005. My solution contains Windows Service project. Then I added Setup and Deployment project into the same solution. Both service- and Setup and Deployment project are working fine.

here's my problem: I have an obfuscated, compiled .exe , that is a windows service, and I need it to install using a setup project. since its already compiled, I can't just go to "custom actions" and add primary output from the service. my setup project doesnt see it. so how the heck do I do it? I was thinking of using a DOS .bat file that uses sc.exe or installutil.exe, but I am still having trouble making it work. anyone got a tutorial...

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

I am reviewing Windows service programming. I'm running VS2005 and programming in VB. I've just found an example in Support: 'How to create a Setup project for a Windows Service in Visual Basic .NET or in Visual Basic 2005' http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317421 I've been able to program and run this example without problems.

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

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. The idea...
