I've created a windows service and tested it. It works the way I want
it to. I added a ProjectInstalle r and set the appropriate properties
in my Windows Service project. To install it, I went to a Visual
Studio Command Prompt and issued the appropriate InstallUtil
<path\executabl ecommand and the service runs perfectly on my
development machine. What I can't figure out is how to install on it
any other machine. Any pointers or links to information would be
appreciated, I've search the 'net and this newsgroup and haven't found
an answer. 6  1175

This may not be what you want, but I used the code at this link: http://tinyurl.com/yexh6z to make my service self-installable. It adds
a /install and /uninstall switch to be able to install the service.
You can use this code and then add a step to your install project to
get the service to install itself.

^^^ What he says. :-)
I make every windows service self-installable now. Saves a lot of
hassle.
It is also possible to create a single exe that can be a service *and*
a stand alone app.
If you want to get super-creative you can make your exe also behave as
a console listener for the
service if the service is installed and running.

Thanks, this will get me started.
I was looking for a managed code solution, or even just a way to
manually install the service on another machine. This service will
only be used on one machine, perhaps a few machines at some point down
the road. For now, I need to find a way to install it on to a machine
easily, it doesn't even have to happen programatically . Thanks in
advance,
BK
Just write values to the registry....
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\ Services\MyServ ice",
"DisplayNam e", "My Program Description"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\ Services\MyServ ice",
"ErrorContr ol", 1
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\ Services\MyServ ice",
"ImagePath" , "C:\MyExe.e xe"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\ Services\MyServ ice",
"ObjectName ", "LocalSyste m"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\ Services\MyServ ice",
"Start", 2
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\System\Cur rentControlSet\ Services\MyServ ice",
"Type", 272

My current approach to this is to put all the logic into a separate

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,...
