How to install service in Vista

[Guest]

I have made a Windows Service and I have read that you should use
installutil.exe to register the service. However, no service appears in the
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services when I run installutil. How
can I install my service?

I get one message when using installutil that I don't know if it is an error
message or not:

"No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be
found in the C:\... assembly.
Remove InstallState file because there are no installers."

What does that mean?

It means that it could find code that should do the installing.

Hello Joachim,

Check that u use installutil.exe from the latest installed FW folder "WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\"
and not the 1.1

You need to have an Installer class in your service in order for Installutil
to be able to "install it". Look at a sample service for the code you need.
