Hi Friends..

I am getting a problem while installing a windows service using installutil.exe

While installing it throws exception System.IO.Filenotfoundexception.

The Problem i have realised is that :- The Path is Consist of blank spaces like

C:\Program Files\Anvi Corp. Ltd\Install\WindowsService.Exe as u can see the path is consist of

blank spaces between Program Files , Anvi Corp. Ltd.

If i Create same Path by creating Folders with the same names but Removing Blank Spaces then it is working.

So, Friends Please tell how to solve this Problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Quotes, my friend, quotes.
Specifically, double quotes around the string when you pass it to installutil.exe

"C:\Program Files\Anvi Corp. Ltd\Install\WindowsService.Exe"

Should fix it.
