  • 0

I have developed a Windows service using Visual Studio 2008. I want to install that service in a machine where Visual Studio is not installed, but .NET 3.5 is installed.

Generally InstallUtil.exe shall be used for installing a Windows Service, but the InstallUtil.exe utility is not available in .NET 3.5. When I tried installing that service using .NET 2.0, the service is getting displayed in the list of services but when starting the service Windows Service error 1053 is coming. How we can avoid this problem and successfully install the service?

    There’s a Microsoft KB on this for .Net 2.0 and VS2005. The procedure is exactly the same in .Net 3.5 and VS2008.

    And here’s a nicer article with pictures to make it clearer. (Sometimes the KB’s aren’t as friendly as tutorials you can find elsewhere.)
