it show could not load file or assembly
Then you need to make sure the missing assembly is in the correct folder.

Look at the error message; it tells you what the problem is.

I have no idea what that means, or how you expect anyone to guess what error messages you are getting. I suggest you take a look at https://www.google.com/search?q=install+service.
