David Hoyt 13-Aug-09 7:5613-Aug-09 7:56I had my own solution back in 2005 for this: It uses the native API and the latest versions (available through CodePlex as part of a greater project: ) support UAC and 32/64 bit support on Windows, Vista, and beyond. It will auto-detect if it's not installed and attempt to install it.
You can also provide command line options to install, uninstall, etc. It also provides install/uninstall/start/stop/etc. Utils for any service on the system (each w/ UAC support, if needed) and will automatically degrade to a typical console-based application if running in user interactive mode. It also provides more control than the.net framework-provided one in terms of what messages you can respond to (e.g. System shutdown, power states, etc.), your error handling capabilities, etc.You can write an entire service w/ all of that functionality w/ 2 methods. Rapid2k2 11-Aug-Aug-09 16:52After trying your suggestions inside a windows service I'm programming, there is no console output. Surely it has something to do with the type of the project (window service instead of console application), but I don't know what to change in the project properties to get something.
Of course, if I start with a console appl I get no servicepd.- by console output I mean everything that gets out from system.console.writeline, for example.Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

System.componentmodel.win32exception Access Is Denied Windows Service
I have created Windows Service in Visual Studio 2015 (Professional),.NET version: 4.5.2But I am not able to install this windows service on my machine.Followed below mentioned steps to install Windows Service1. Start All Programs Visual Studio 2015 Visual Studio Tools Right Click 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2015' and click 'Run as administrator'2. In VS 2015 Command Prompt, typed location of windows service.
'CD C:SandboxWindowServicesMyNewServiceMyNewServicebinDebug'3. Typed InstallUtil.exe “MyNewService.exe” commandStep 3 is supposed to install Windows Service, but, instead I get error ' 'InstallUtil.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.' - More Info -Local machine configuration:OS: Windows 7 EnterpriseSystem Type: 64 bit-Location of InstallUtil.exe: C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319Seeking for help on urgent basis.Thanks in advanceWhat I have tried:1.
Initially windows service was at D Drive, moved it to C drive, still same error2. Moved Windows service exe to InstallUtil location and both CD command for util location and InstallUtil.exe “MyNewService.exe”, but get error ' file not found' for the window service exe3. Tried to install window service through a batch file found through google, it gives same error as 'File Not Found'4. Searched other options on Google, but nothing seems specific to my problem.Note: When I open VS2015 Command Prompt it shows 'ERROR: Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder.'
Is this culprit in my case? If so how to solve this error in command prompt. @NaibedyaKar: You are almost correct,Typing 'cd C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319' will give access to InstallUtil.exe location.But typing 'InstallUtil.exe MyNewService.exe' will give 'File Not Found' error.Instead will have to type entire path of windows service after installUtil.exe command. Executing below two lines successfully installs windows service on my machine1. Cd C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.303192. InstallUtil.exe C:SandboxWindowServicesMyNewServiceMyNewServicebinDebugMyNewService.exe.
