installutil.exe

'installutin does not recognized as an intenal or external command'

You need to navigate to the path where installutil.exe is present.
By default it is:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

considering, C drive is your system drive.

So type cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 before you use the command.

If you still have issues, Google for "installutil.exe"

Hope it helps! :thumbsup:

This is a tiny bit off-topic but I've stopped using InstallUtil to install my services. It's is really easy to just add it to the service itself. Add a reference to System.Configuration.Install (not available in the Client Profile editions if I remember right) and then update your Main()-function in Program.cs like this.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (Environment.UserInteractive)
{
string parameter = string.Concat(args);
switch (parameter)
{
case "--install":
ManagedInstallerClass.InstallHelper(new[] { Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location });
break;
case "--uninstall":
ManagedInstallerClass.InstallHelper(new[] { "/u", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location });
break;
}
}
else
{
ServiceBase[] servicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
{
new Service1()
};
ServiceBase.Run(servicesToRun);
}
}
