hi all

I have windows service after completed I hosted this in my system using
visual studio command prompt :InstallUtil command
it is working fine.

If I want to instal without visual studio command prompt how can I install?

When I run through setup it is installed but when click this Icon giving error:

Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command.

How can trabulshoot this?

Thanks in advance.......

Hi,
One way to do is to write the script in batch file, and use the installer to run the batch file during the installation.
