System.IO.FileNotFoundException on InstallUtil

[Random]

I have written a Windows Service application, and I am trying to use
InstallUtil to install it on my local machine for testing. I am using the
logToconsole parameter and am getting a System.IO.FileNotFoundException
exception. I have references in my app, but no external files.

I did compile the service app and copy the *.exe to another directory so I
wouldn't have to type in the entire path in the InstallUitl command. Still,
I wouldn't think this would have anything to do with it. Any clues,
anyone??

I think i have heard something along the lines of maybe the files are
not actually there when you think they would. If i were you I would
download ntfilemon from www.sysinternals.com. It is a free application
that can be used to troubleshoot file access problems. After a few
moments of using it to get familiar and get the filters setup properly
you can then use it and see where and what it is attempting to look for.

Can you please send the full InstallUtil command line that you are using,
and the full exception message? A clip of the install log would be helpful
as well.

Thanks,

Thanks, but I got it covered now. Without being able to immediately resolve
this, I went ahead and ran installutil to just run on the location my
project compiled to. That revealed an install error with some extra
registry settings I was making (see seperate post). I corrected that and
now I can copy the assembly and install the service in my other directory.

Great. I'm glad it's working now.
