Service install (IntsallUtil)

[gccosta]

all messages show sucefully install, but it doesn´t apear on the Services Window.

Why??

I created a new service application from the template, it works from the visual studio, but I can´t install it as windows service!!

Thank you,
Guilherme Costa

Not sure if this will help you, but I'll throw it out anyway.

I've always opted to make my services get installed through the setup project created in VS. This way you just have the next, next, finish thing with no "manual" steps.

There's an example in the help on how to do this, and there's a few steps involved - you really have to read the help carefully, because it's easy to miss something.

When I did miss something - not attaching the installer or whatever - the setup project appeared to work fine, but the service never showed up under services.

Maybe double-check to make sure you've set up everything correctly?

now it asks for an user and password, but it won´t accept a local user that i just created to it.

It is a problem my VS.net be in English, and my windows 2000 be in Portuguese?

Thanks for any help,

Don't know about Portuguese/English conflicts, sorry. Is it asking for a user name/password when you try to install? I believe permissions require that only an administrator can install a service - but I could be wrong.

Do you have an installer in your project? If so, you can set the ServiceProcessInstaller.Account property to "LocalSystem" and the install routine does not prompt for credentials.
