problems creatig a windows service

[Sanjeet1]

I have a windows service. I am trying to build it so I can call it.

I tried using the command:

installutil.exe WindowsService1.exe but that did not work. Here s the ouput error message.


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>installutil.exe C:\TEMP SANJEET\Raj's Mu
ltihreaed App for Axolotl\bin\Debug\WindowsService1.exe
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version 1.1.4322.573

Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name TEMP, or one of its depen
dencies, was not found..

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>

If you have spaces in your path name, you need to use quotes. It is treating c:\TEMP SANJEET as c:\TEMP with SANJEET as the next part of the command.

OK I tried his but got another error message:

C:\>installutil.exe "C:\TEMP SANJEET\Raj's Multihreaed App for Axolotl\bin\Debug
\WindowsServce1.exe"
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version 1.1.4322.573

Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name WindowsServce1.exe, or on
e of its dependencies, was not found..

Single quotes are also a bad idea in filenames.

And - double-check that the file is really in that directory.
