copied!<p>I just created a simple test Windows Service and am having trouble. I'm new to Windows Services so I don't know if I'm even doing this right.</p> <pre><code>namespace testWindowsService { public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase { public Service1() {InitializeComponent();} protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\started.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs); m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End); m_streamWriter.WriteLine("Service Started on \n" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + " at " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()); m_streamWriter.Flush(); m_streamWriter.Close(); } protected override void OnStop() { FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\stopped.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write); StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs); m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End); m_streamWriter.WriteLine("Service Stopped \n" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() + " at " + DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString()); m_streamWriter.Flush(); m_streamWriter.Close(); } } } </code></pre> <p>Then I built the project and opened Command Prompt from Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt. From the prompt I ran:</p> <pre><code>installutil C:\Users\myUser\Documents\MyServices\testWindowsService\testWindowsService\bin\Debug\testWindowsService.exe </code></pre> <p>But I get the error:</p> <pre><code>No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be found in the C:\Users\myUser\Documents\MyServices\testWindowsService\testWindowsService\bin\Debug\testWindowsService.exe assembly. </code></pre> <p>I've tried googling it but found a lot of dead ends and half answers.</p> <p>Thank you</p>
