I have created a Windows Service in VB.net for building xML from a database. I need to install it in my machine. I have followed all the steps as shown in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/816169
When I right click on setup project and click install it opens the installation wizard and after hitting the next buttons it promptly says that the Service is installed successfully.
When I go to Services I don’t see the service. I refreshed the list and rebooted my machine n times.
Please help.
I would suggest that you use InstallUtil.exe found in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 (assuming .net 2.0) to install a .net service on your own machine.
