Windows service not showing up in service manager

Question

I wrote a WindowsService application using C# on .NET 3.5, there I used a project installer and set up program to package the application.

When I installed this, it worked well, succefullyt installed and event viewer says it success. When I goto add/remove Programs on the contro pannel there it shows the applicaiton to remove.
BUT, this is not showing up in the Service Manager.. Can someone please help me to fix this?

NOTE: I have tested this applicaion through a test clinent application (Windows Forms app) and there I didn't find any issues.

Thx

 

 

Answer 1

Try to install the service manually by running InstallUtil.exe:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe [YourSvc.exe]

If this succeeds, than you have a problem with your setup project that needs to be investigated. If the command fails use the logging switches of InstallUtil to get more information.
