Do you run your code with elevated administrator privileges?
sharmarun 8-Apr-13 2:04am    
yes but no use
Zoltán Zörgő 8-Apr-13 2:14am    
Try:
if (service == IntPtr.Zero)
throw new ApplicationException("Failed to install service." + Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());

But first add SetLastError = true to all dllimports.

Than see the error, and google for it.
You can look on the thread start side to launch a .BAT using INSTALLUTIL
