I read the MSDN article on the topic. To quote: Because a service must be run from within the context of the Services Control Manager rather than from within Visual Studio, debugging a service is not as straightforward as debugging other Visual Studio application types. To debug a service, you must start the service and then attach a debugger to the process in which it is running. You can then debug your application using all of the standard debugging functionality of Visual Studio. Now my problem is that my service fails to start in the first place. First it crashes, and says: An unhandled

I tried to use the codes below in Wix. But when installing, the installer was freezing for like 3 minutes on status: Starting services, then I got this message "Service Jobservice failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Is there any wrong in my codes?

I am currently writing a deployment script that installs a number of Windows services. The services names are versioned, so I want to delete the prior Windows service version as part of the installs of the new service. How can I best do this in PowerShell? ravikanth You can use WMI or other tools for this since there is no Remove-Service cmdlet until Powershell 6.0 ( See Remove-Service doc) For example: $service = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name='servicename'" $service.delete() Or with the sc.exe tool: sc.exe delete ServiceName Finally, if you do have access to PowerShell 6.0:

So we've produced a windows service to feed data to our client application and everything is going great. The client has come up with a fun configuration request that requires two instances of this service running on the same server and configured to point at separate databases. So far I haven't been able to get this to happen and was hoping my fellow stackoverflow members might be able to give some hints as to why.

How do I uninstall a .NET Windows Service, if the service files does not exists anymore? I installed a .NET Windows Service using InstallUtil. I have since deleted the files but forgot to run InstallUtil /u first. So the service is still listed in the Services MMC. Do I have to go into the registry? Or is there a better way?
