Problem installing windows service

[jeff_p_schulz]

I am trying to install my windows service. When I run the install util as follows I get the error below. Please let me know what I am going wrong.



C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322>InstallUtil.exe C:\Documents and Settings\jeffrey\Desktop\WindowsServiceExample\WindowsServiceExample\bin\WindowsServiceExample.exe

Exception occurred while initializing the installation: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name Documents, or one of its dependencies, was not found..

First, change directory to where your windows service reside: eg. from the command prompt

cd C:\Documents and Settings\jeffrey\Desktop\WindowsServiceExample\WindowsServiceExample\bin\

Next, if you are using the cmd.exe shortcut provided by VS.NET during installation, just type:

installutil  WindowsServiceExample.exe

Otherwise, set path to the folder where installutil.exe resides.

Hope it will help.

Aren't you supposed to put the file name in quotes? That's how I've always done it, not sure if it matters....

InstallUtill "C:\MyService.exe"

You don't need the quotes. Just type as in my example.
