service won't install with installutil.exe

i run the following:

installutil "my service.exe"

and it goes through and tells me the install and commit
were successful. i go to the services list and it isn't
shown.

i've done this multiple times before with other projects
and it won't work. if i try to do net start "my
service", i end up getting an indicator that the service
is not installed.

any thoughts?

are you sure you have a service installer class defined for that
service?

I am having the same problem, I have double, and tripple checked all aspects
of the app. I even compared it to one that installs just fine, but was
written in VB2002. Is there an updated installer that works better (or at
all) with 2003?

I created a simple windows service. However when I built it again a couple of days later I could no longer install the service. The InstallUtil.exe cannot UNINSTALL the service because "The specified service does not exist as an installed service" However InstallUtil.exe cannot INSTALL the service because "The specified service already exists." Are there some registry entries I have to remove?

I would like to set command line arguments to a service at install time. I need to do this because I need to get information from different registry locations depending on my command line argument. I have to do it this way as the consumer of the service should not be able to change the argument - except by uninstalling and reinstalling the service. I created the service and the service itself works great. However, when I try to install...

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?
