  1. POinstallutil with windows service installs, then immediately uninstalls custom windows service
    text
    copied!<p>I have a custom windows service written in c# that I need to install and debug. When I use </p> <pre><code>installutil "[path].exe" </code></pre> <p>from the command line and then try and search for the service, it doesn't appear in the list of installed services anywhere. Looking at the install log file, i see this:</p> <pre><code>Installing assembly 'myservice'. Affected parameters are: logtoconsole = assemblypath = mypath logfile = mylogfile Installing service MyService Service MyService has been successfully installed. Creating EventLog source MyService in log Application... Committing assembly 'myservice'. Affected parameters are: logtoconsole = assemblypath = myservice logfile = pathtoinstalllog Uninstalling assembly myservice Affected parameters are: logtoconsole = assemblypath = myservice logfile = pathtoinstalllog Removing EventLog source myservice. Service myservice is being removed from the system... Service myservice was successfully removed from the system. Uninstalling assembly myservice'. Affected parameters are: logtoconsole = assemblypath = myservice logfile = pathtoinstalllog Removing EventLog source myservice. Service myservice is being removed from the system... Service myservice was successfully removed from the system. </code></pre> <p>(The names path, myservice, pathtoinstalllog, etc are in place of company specifics)</p> <p>Anyway, from the log file it looks as if the service is being installed and then immediately uninstalled...</p> <p>If any more code or info is needed, let me know, and thanks in advance.</p>
