More Windows Service Woes 1

[jfrost10]

Ok, so I have a .net windows service that I'm trying to install. I run my msi package and it installs without a problem. Here's where it gets weird:

My service doesn't show up in the services list. But if I try to use InstallUtil, I get the message that the service has already been installed. However, if I then go and try and start it using 'net start', I'm told that the service name is invalid.

Luckily, I can uninstall all of this without a hitch (an issue I was having earlier, where it would only partially install and I couldn't uninstall it).

Any thoughts on why the service would install, but I couldn't see it in the service list? Permissions is not an issue (made sure of that).

Thanks,

D'Arcy

Are you sure it's not listed as "service1". Took me 15 minutes to figure that one out the first time. LOL

I was so sure I had set all the points in the project where you set the naem of hte service, but then I went back to check...sure enough Service1 is the culprit!

Thanks Rick!
