Is Windows Service Installed?

[gmatteson]

How can I tell if a windows service is installed in VB.NET?

i.e. something like

if service exist then
blah
else
install it
end if

You need to add an "Installer Class" to your service's project. Once added, you also need to add a ServiceProcessInstaller component, and a ServiceInstall component. This will allow you to use the InstallUtil.exe to install your service. You can uninstall with the same utility.

Hope this helps,
