You can install a .net windows service with InstallUtil.exe : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/50614e95%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^]

Other than the above contact the author of the application for extra configuration options required.

Hi,

Thank you for response,

Is there any other solution, other than configure via command prompt. We required like (.msi) setup.

thanks

If you can edit the code you can make a self installing app : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4144019/self-install-windows-service-in-net-c-sharp

Hi,

Thank you,

Resolved this solution as like,

Once we build the application it generates the BIN folder with .exe.
Then create one batch file to execute the windows service .exe. (We can't run the .exe directly. Either command prompt or batch file).
Run the batch file, either manually or schedular. Below is the sample file to create the batch file.

--- Batch Start --------

@echo off
SET PROG=%"%F:\CCMProduct\BOSCH-BIPO\BIPOServerWindowsService\bin\Debug%"%
SET SERVICE_EXE=%"%\BIPOServerWindowsService.exe%"%
SET FIRSTPART=%WINDIR%"\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v"
SET SECONDPART="\InstallUtil.exe"
SET SERVICENAME=%"%SynchronizeData%"%
SET DELETEBATCH="\*.bat"

SET DOTNETVER=4.0.30319
IF EXIST %FIRSTPART%%DOTNETVER%%SECONDPART% GOTO install
SET DOTNETVER=2.0.50727
IF EXIST %FIRSTPART%%DOTNETVER%%SECONDPART% GOTO install
SET DOTNETVER=1.1.4322
IF EXIST %FIRSTPART%%DOTNETVER%%SECONDPART% GOTO install
SET DOTNETVER=1.0.3705
IF EXIST %FIRSTPART%%DOTNETVER%%SECONDPART% GOTO install
:install
ECHO Found .NET Framework version %DOTNETVER%
ECHO Installing service "%PROG%"
%FIRSTPART%%DOTNETVER%%SECONDPART% /name=%SERVICENAME% "%PROG%%SERVICE_EXE%"
sc start AS
GOTO end
:end
ECHO DONE!!!

--- Batch End --------

Copy these text in notepad and save with .bat ext.

Thank you
