Hello,
I am new to working with services. I am trying to install a very
simple windows service that i have created. I am following the
instructions detailed in this link:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;317421

however I am unable to get the installation to work. When i follow the
instructions the installation wizard says that the service has
installed successfully, however when i go to the Services manager in
the control panel the service does not appear. Does anyone have any
suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Also when I go into Add
Remove programs the service is listed.

Thanks,
Billy

Are you certain of the *name* of your service? The name displayed on the
services mangager is the DisplayName property of the ServiceInstaller in
your project. Did you double check to make sure if it were under the
Display name?
