Install windows service without InstallUtil.exe

Question

I\'m trying to deploy a windows service but not quite sure how to do it right. I built it as a console app to start with, I\'ve now turned it into a windows service project

Answer 1

Not double click, you run it with the correct command line parameters, so type something like MyService -i and then MyService -u to uninstall it`.

You could otherwise use sc.exe to install and uninstall it (or copy along InstallUtil.exe).
