Windows Service in VB.Net

I created a Windows Service in VB.Net and I tried using the InstallUtil and I
keep getting this error message -- please help

Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
system.io.filen otfoundexceptio n: file or assemble name emailpooler.exe , or
one of its dependencies, was not found..

Are you running installutil from a standard command prompt, or from the VS
command prompt? If you are doing it from the standard command prompt, you
have to either run installutil from its folder location, supplying the
complete path to your service exe. If you are running it from the VS command
prompt, run the command within the folder that the exe resides.

Hope this helps.

I do have one other question -- what is the best way to deploy the new
service -- by using the installutil to load it on another computer or by
doing an MSI package... any samples of do this for a Windows Service...

I am trying to control a Windows Service via a Web Service interface. (I am developing in .NET2003) I am using the ServiceController object which allows me to read the state of the services with no problems. However, I am not able to start or stop the service unless I go through the process of impersonating an administrative user. (See MSDN KB 306158) Since it appears to be a privilege issue, I set the folders in IIS holding the Web...

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service? That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact with a WinForms app (which is the UI used to adjust the actions taken by, and the schedule of the service), then a privileged user thread should be used in the UI - no service required. But... "A windows service enables the creation of long-running executable

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was running? We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running. I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the same service on another machine.

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?

Hi, I created a web service that I want to host in windows service. The problem is that if I host it as windows service it does not use the configuration file. I have to define the binding, endpoint etc. programmatically in the Program.cs file. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Cheers,

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.
