.NET Installutil.exe problems

[Jamin Mace]

I'm trying to create a batch script that will allow me to use the .Net
installutil.exe to install a windows service. I want to be able to specify
the username and pasword in my script so that I don't get prompted. Here is
an example of my script. No matter what I still get prompted. Does anyone
have any Ideas?

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\insta llUtil.exe
C:\Projects\myservice\bin\myservice.exe username=testmachine\testUser
/password=test1 /unattended

Thanks in advance

Jamin

Open the console, then type: "InstallUtil /?".

I have never used installutil.exe or tested what I am
about to say, but maybe you need a / infront of the
username such as:

C:\Projects\myservice\bin\myservice.exe /username=testmach
ine\testUser /password=test1 /unattended

For some reason it shows something very different on my machine. But
having a look at your initial commandline, you may want to include a "/"
in front of "username".

ahh...yes you caught my error. Thanks for pointing out the parameter
problem. However, I tried once again and the install still does not work. I
really think this is a flaw in the framework. Perhaps Microsoft orignally
allowed the unattended install, but later decided it would be a security
hole and removed it without updating the documentation. This seems to be a
recurring problem in .Net

Thanks for the help
