Trouble with Windows Service installer....

All,

Not sure what group to post this to, but I have a service with an
installer which, when I run the installutil app seems to install ok:

Contents of the Service Install Log:

Installing assembly 'XXXXXXXX.
Affected parameters are:
assemblypath = XXXXXXXXX
logfile = XXXXXXX
Committing assembly 'XXXXXXXXXX'.
Affected parameters are:
assemblypath = XXXXXXXXX
logfile = XXXXXXXXservice .InstallLog
Contents of the installutil.log
Running a transacted installation.

Beginning the Install phase of the installation.
See the contents of the log file for the XXXXXXX assembly's progress.
The file is located at XXXXXXXXXXXX

The Install phase completed successfully, and the Commit phase is
beginning.
See the contents of the log file for the XXXXXXXX assembly's progress.
The file is located at XXXXXXXXXX

The Commit phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.
Names hidden to protect the identity of.... etc.

But the service doesn't seem to intall. It doesn't show up in the
services list no matter what I do. Nothing in the event logs to
indicate any error. Just doesn't seem to work.

Any pointers? Can I do this manually without the installUtil app?
Maybe I can get some error reporting if I break down the steps.... etc.
Thanks in advance,
See_Rock_City

I can't install the new version of the service,...

I created an extremely simple windows service that only writes to the EventLogs on Stop and Pause. I installed it using the InstallUtil.exe program, the output of which is below. It appears to be successful. I'm now ready to start my service (I think) but the NET START command does not appear to indicate that the service is available to be run. The output for NET START is below as well. The Services list in the W2K administrator...

Hello, I have written a windows service and created an installer for it. The service runs under the system accounts. When started, it launches a GUI. By default, the InteractiveProcess property of the service is not set (this can be checked by right-clicking on the service in the Services window (Admin tools>Services), choosing Properties, LogOn tab). In order to enable my service to launch a GUI at startup, I added the following lines...

Hi all, I read an article from http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Sept/InstallingWinServiceProgrammatically.asp about how to install a windows service programmatically. Based on the code sample, it provides the feature to install service under LocalSystem account. What I need is to install service under NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService, so that my service can access the shared network resources.

Hi, I have created an msi package that installas some .Net dlls. It was working fine until my windows profile got corrupt and I had to create a new one after renaming the old. the old profile still exists with a different name. Now, when I try to run this msi, it says "The specified service already exists." and rolls back. There are no entries in the registry for this msi.

Hi, I know this question has been answered before (somewhat) but I have a twist... I've written a client/server application where the server portion runs as a windows service and allows connections across the network from remote users. The application all works like a charm and is very effective. However, during testing it occured to me that hooking up to the remote user's computer across the network without their knowledge could be...

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?

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