Hi all,
maybe somebody can help me with a service installation problem in VS
2003, C#.
First, I added an installer project to a solution with a program that
shall run as a service. So far, so good, the program installs ok with
the resulting msi file, is obviously registered as service and visible
in the service manager.
For a second similiar service I created a new solution, likewise with
program and installer project, and then copied most of the cs files from
the first service to adapt them to the differences. When I create the
msi file there, installation works (i.e. the files are installed), but I
cannot see the service in the service manager (even after a reboot). So
I cannot start it or do something else with it. When I use installUtil
additionally everything is allright and the service displays in service
manager.
Has somebody made a similar experience or does somebody have an idea
what might be wrong there? I tried to find any relevant differences
between the two solutions as well as inconvenient similarities (e.g.
identical guids, or something like that) but I can't find why one
installer works and the other not.
Any ideas appreciated! Thanks.
Regards
Roland
