    <p><strong>Context</strong> </p> <p>Windows 2008 64 bit.<br> I have a .NET service installed that acts as an installer.</p> <p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>I'm using this code (credit: Marc Gravell) to install a service:</p> <pre><code>using (var inst = new AssemblyInstaller(typeof(MyNamespace.Program).Assembly, new string[] { })) { IDictionary state = new Hashtable(); inst.UseNewContext = true; try { if (uninstall) { inst.Uninstall(state); } else { inst.Install(state); inst.Commit(state); } } catch { try { inst.Rollback(state); } catch { } throw; } } </code></pre> <p><strong>The Problem</strong></p> <p>All works fine and no exceptions, but right after that, I try to run the following code to start the service just installed:</p> <pre><code>using (var sc = new ServiceController("the service's name")) { sc.Start(); sc.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)); } </code></pre> <p>And I get an exception:</p> <pre> System.InvalidOperationException: Service [service name goes here] was not found on computer '.'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service does not exist as an installed service --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GenerateNames() at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.get_ServiceName() at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start() at ... (my code details) </pre> <p>I don't understand why, because:</p> <ol> <li>The service's name is the exact one as in the <code>ServiceInstaller</code> (in the <code>ServiceName</code> property)</li> <li>The code is executed inside a different service, which runs under <em>Local System</em> account.</li> </ol>

    2. CO@TCopple, inside stackoverflow - clearly not. Outside - maybe, I don't remember. But I don't think so, otherwise I would have answered myself here.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
