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?
