Install Windows Service

Hi,

The windows service has reference to some custom DLL's, which are located in
"subfolder/anotherfolder" relative to the service exe. There is a
configuration file for the .exe which specifies to add
"subfolder/anotherfolder" as a path to search for dll's needed for the
project.

However, during the install, this configuration file is ignored. Since the
DLL's are not found, the install fails.

What is the proper way to do this (putting the DLL's in the same directory
as the service executable is NOT an option).

It's hard to believe that no one in MS thought that people would want to
install windows services, but not necessarily have all the DLL's in the same
directory. This seems like a pretty basic requirement.

Thanks

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,...
