[apondu]

Hi,

I am trying to write a windows service using the option that is present
..Net. I am using the window service project. I have written a simple
window service and even created a installer for tht by using the option
present in widow service. When i try to execute the window service
using installutil.exe i get this exception

Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name DemoService,
or one of its
dependencies, was not found..


Can anyone tell me wht's the problem and wht is the solution for tht
Thanks in advance for the suggestion.

Govardhan

Govardhan,
It needs to be installutil /i demoservice.exe (with the ".exe" on the end).

Also, it depends where you are running installutil.exe from. if you are
running it from withing the .NET Framework directory, you need the FULL PATH
to your demoservice.exe, unless you are running it from the same folder as
demoservice.exe and have your path variables to the .NET Framwork directory
set in that command prompt.

The logfile is pretty unambiguous to me. It's telling you that your service
already exists. So you need to do an uninstall first (if it was from a
previous version, etc.)

Hi Peter,

I tried to uninstall the window service with /u option for the
installutil command but even thn there was a same exception. Whn i try
to manually find the windows service in the operating system's services
i couldn't find it. Wht else could be the reason for the exception.
Can u let me know.

Thank You
