Install Windows Service

Today I am going to explain you a simple and quick way to install a Windows Service in your machine.
First you must write a Windows Service in your preferred language like (C#,VB.NET etc...). Then follow these quick steps.

You have to get the support of .NET SDK Command prompt for install the service into your local machine.
1. Call to SDK Command prompt, follow
Start>All Programs>Microsoft .NET Framework SDK v2.0>SDK Command prompt

*(this is very much similar to windows command prompt, but windows command prompt cannot understand these instructions)

2. Type in the SDK command prompt
installutil C:\MyWebServiceApp\bin\Debug\MyService.exe
this is your application's .exe path.

Now your Windows service has successfully installed with Windows Environment. To start that, go to
Start>Run type services.msc and run it.

In this services window, find your Windows Service and Write Click on it and select Properties. Set Startup type as Automatic or Manual.

Now restart you machine and find your Windows Service by Task Manager. It will display in task manager under running services.

I think you got it. Please leave your comment on my tips. It will encourage me. Bye


Alternative: after installing the service, use the Service control manager to configure and start it:
in the console window type:
SC Config MyService obj="Account Name" start = (boot|delayed-auto|system|demand|auto|disabled)
to start the servixce type:
SC start MyService
