Set 'Start Parameters' on Service Installation with .Net ServiceInstaller?

Question

I am currently writing a little windows service application and I can successfully in/uninstall it etc via something like this:

        serviceProcessInstall         


        

Answer 1

Here's a more concise answer:

In your ServiceInstaller class (the one that uses the Installer as a base class), add the following two overrides:

public partial class ServiceInstaller : System.Configuration.Install.Installer {

    public ServiceInstaller () {
         ...
    }

    protected override void OnBeforeInstall(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState) {
        Context.Parameters["assemblypath"] += "\" /service";
        base.OnBeforeInstall(savedState);
    }

    protected override void OnBeforeUninstall(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState) {
        Context.Parameters["assemblypath"] += "\" /service";
        base.OnBeforeUninstall(savedState);
    }


}
