I’ve created a windows service in c# and I’m trying to install it for debug using the installutil as recommended here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sd8zc8ha.aspx
The installutil says Install completed. However, nothing appears in the service control manager.
I’ve tried this on Server 2008 and XP with the same result.
Any ideas?
A colleague of mine had a more or less identical problem.
Did you add an installer to your project? For the service to be installed you need to add an installer to your Visual Studio Project. The easiest way to add an installer in Visual Studio is to open your service in Design Mode and right click the design area and select Add Installer. This will add a file ProjectInstaller.cs with itself contains a ServiceInstaller object and a ServiceProcessInstaller object. With the installer added you can set the Service Name, Description and other options that will be used when installing the service. If you now try to use InstallUtil your service should be installed and should show up in the Services list.
