C# windows service not showing up in service manager

[Brian Hman]

I have written a windows service in C#. I am able to install it, but when I
look in the service manager I don't see it. If I start it at the command line
like this: net start spawner it starts right up and runs. I must have missed
something in my installer classes to make this happen, but I can't seem to
figure it what it is.

Any help you can provide is appreciated,

Hi Brian,

Please check the following link for a walkthrough on how to create a
windows application and install it. You can create a setup project or use
Installutil.exe to install the service. You might able to find what you
have missed in your app.

I am having the same issue with either c# or VB.net. I followed your links.
One difference that I noticed that in my environment, I don't get a
properties window that allows me to set the ServiceName and other service
properties.

I am running VS .NET 2003 on Windows XP Pro.
