How to use the installutil to install a service

[Mike John]

I want to install a service that I made in .Net.

I have trying the following in the Visual Studio .NET
Command Prompt:

installutil C:\myservice.exe

The above syntax did not work.

Is the systanx correct, if so why it's not work.If the
syntax is invalid then whats the correct one.


sincerely yours

The syntax is correct. Do you have a ProjectInstaller defined, because
without it it wont install. A VB example is below, you need to compile this
with your exe.
