Hi, I have developed a windows service in c# on visual studio 2008. When I compile it there is no error but when I install it using the devloper's command prompt I get this:

CSS

Installing assembly 'F:\PTCL\Projects\clickService\clickService\bin\Debug\clickService.exe'.
Affected parameters are:
   logtoconsole =
   assemblypath = F:\PTCL\Projects\clickService\clickService\bin\Debug\clickService.exe
   logfile = F:\PTCL\Projects\clickService\clickService\bin\Debug\clickService.InstallLog
Installing service clickService...
Creating EventLog source clickService in log Application...
Rolling back assembly 'F:\PTCL\Projects\clickService\clickService\bin\Debug\clickService.exe'.
Affected parameters are:
   logtoconsole =
   assemblypath = F:\PTCL\Projects\clickService\clickService\bin\Debug\clickService.exe
   logfile = F:\PTCL\Projects\clickService\clickService\bin\Debug\clickService.InstallLog
Restoring event log to previous state for source clickService.
An exception occurred during the Rollback phase of the System.Diagnostics.EventLogInstaller installer.
System.Security.SecurityException: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.  Inaccessible logs: Security.
An exception occurred during the Rollback phase of the installation. This exception will be ignored and the rollback will continue. However, the machine might not fully revert to its initial state after the rollback is complete.

What to do to install and/or test the service.

Maybe a silly question, but are you also ensuring that you uninstall it first?

I am installing the service using the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. I use the command
"installutil.exe setup.exe"

open command prompt as RunAsAdministrator and then try
