Error While Using Installutil For Installing Windows Service App
Feb 12, 2007I new to .net My project involves developing a windows service application using VB .NET. I have installed the service successfuly on the first attempt using the installutil provided by the frame work.When i uninstalled the application the it gave me the following result.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service does not exist as an installed serviceAn exception occurred while uninstalling. This exception will be ignored and the uninstall will continue. However, the application might not be fully uninstalled after the uninstall is complete.
The uninstall has completed.
When i tried to install the app again it gave me the following error
An exception occurred during the Install phase.System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service already exists
I removed the application from the list of application event log entries in the registry(HKEYLOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventLogApplication) ant tried installing the app agin it installed successfully. Why is uninstalling the service not removing the entry from the registry.

View 2 RepliesWindows Service Not Installing
May 1, 2012I have been working on creating a windows service. I am using XP SP3, VB.net, VS 2010 Express, compiling for .Net 4.0 client profile. I have am using very rudimentary code templates that I've cobbled together.I have a class the inherits 'ServiceBase' and overrides the constructor, 'OnStart', and 'OnStop'. I also have another class in another .vb file in the same project that inherits from 'System. Configuration. Install. Installer' and overrides the constructor to add a 'ServiceInstaller' and a 'ServiceProcessInstaller' with the appropriate properties set for the service. The 'ServiceInstaller.ServiceName' is set to the same name as the service class and the installer class has the 'RunInstallerAttribuite (True)'attribute. Everything compiles and if I try to run the exe I get a message telling me it's a service and needs to be installed as such. but when I use installutil(.net 4) to install the service, it appears as though it was successful, but the service does not show up in the services list and I can't find registry entries for it either. I've checked the exe with the object browser and it presents the installer class with the 'RunInstaller Attribute' as it should. I included some code to create a file in the installer constructor and no file is created so I'm assuming that the installer class is never instantiated by installutil.

Apr 2, 2010I have had some success making a windows service but I can�t seem to fix a simple issue
I can get the service to run through my code once, but I can�t get it to loop, well I can but then the service will not start correctly and just times out while the code is running.
How can I get the service to start and then loop, at the moment it just says starting service and the code is looping but the service wont start! Windows times it out after a few mins.

Mar 18, 2010I have a windows service that I've written in vb.net using vs 2008 targeting ASP.NET 3.5. It appears that it's installing in a running state, but with the start mode set to manual. Is there a way I can have the service be initially stopped? I assume that it would be something in my service installer, but haven't been able to find it.
View 4 RepliesCall Uninstall Method In ServiceProcessInstaller For Installing Windows Service Using MSI?
Aug 13, 2009I have a Deployment project which creates an MSI setup file to install a service. (VB .NET) I have a reference to another project which is a win form application and has a setup form which takes the user name, password and some other settings information which will be used by a service. It has "Finish" and "Cancel" buttons. I am creating a new instance of this form on Sub New() of the ProjectInstaller Class, so user can input information, click Finish and installation completes. The service is then automatically started. Now, when I click Cancel on the settings form, I am not able to exit out and halt the installation process. Instead it installs the service !! How can I use the Rollback or Uninstall methods to do the task? I was trying this -
On cancel_click, set boolean var cacelStatus = True
On Sub New() method of ProjectInstaller class, I am checking - If true - uninstall, else - install
How can I achieve this?
Installing Windows Services Gives An Error
Aug 3, 2010I created a simple windows service on my local PC and added the following code to it [code]...
Next I added a Setup project to this solution and added a custom action (By double clicking application folder then clicking add output folder then selecting primary output from the dialog). The solution builds fine but I have 2 problems.
1) Everytime I install the service, it asks me for the username, password and confirm password; I was wondering if there was anyway to get rid of it atleast while running locally. I tried setting the account type to user, local service, local system etc but it keeps popping up.
2) Once I enter the credentials (random ones), I get an error "No mapping between account names and security ids was done".

Windows Service Giving Error ContextSwitchDeadlock?
Jan 21, 2011I've developed a windows service that connects to a database and executes a Stored Procedure when running in debug mode I get the following message: "ContextSwitchDeadlock was detectedMessage: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1ffc20 to COM context 0x1ffd90 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destinationcontext/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations."

.net - WCF Service Hosted In A Managed Windows Service Connect Using A WCF Service Application
Jul 14, 2011i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.

Jul 7, 2009In the past I had the indexing service installed on a Windows Server 2003 and used it to index files for my website. I did this by executing an OleDbCommand with a query and a connection string.How do I accomplish the same thing with the new "Windows Search Service" (Windows Server 2008) by using VB.NET? Does this work the same way so that I only need to change the Provider name which has been "MSIDXS.1" up to now? Case true, what is the new Provider name?
View 1 RepliesInstalling An Application On A Windows 7 Machine?
Sep 1, 2011We are using a Windows 7 virtual machine as a testing platform for our VB 6 application. Th application utilizes an Access database.The application locates the database by looking at a configuration (ini) file.When I install the application on the virtual machine, it places a database where InstallShield directs it to and writes that path to the ini file. All well and good.However,somehow a second copy of the database is created in a user local folder.
If the user uses the "run as administrator" option, the application uses the database that is in the location designated in the ini file and that works fine. But if the user does not select the "run as administrator" option, the application apparently somehow attempts to use the local database and is unable to locate it.
Is this behavior is peculiar to the virtual machine, or is it something we need to be concerned about on "real" Windows 7 systems?If it is peculiar to the virtual machine, is there some way to get the virtual machine to behave more normally?
Windows Service: Multiple Instances Of The Same Service Class?
May 3, 2011When you create a Windows Service, you create a list of the services you want to start. The default is this:
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New Service}
Can you have multiple instances of the same Service class (that bind to different addresses or ports), like this?
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New Service("Option1"), New Service("Option2")}
Or will that cause problems? Should we use two different classes instead?
Installing A Visual Basic .Net Application On Windows 7?
Oct 4, 2011We are installing our application on windows 7. The application utlizes a Acces database. The application locates the database by looking in the registry under at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / WOW6432NODE / COMPANY NAME / SOFTWARE NAME /STARTUP. When i install the application on windows 7 it places the a database where installshield directs it to and writes the path to the registry. However, somehow local copies of the database are showing up under the user profiles. (Example: c:/users/profilename/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program FIles (X86)/Company/SoftwareName/Data). We recently changed it to store the information in c:/ProgramData/Company/software however the same issue occurs and its creating local copies of the database and when the application runs it points to the local copy of the database. What we need is for all users to be pointed to and use the same database in ProgramData, is there something we are missing to accomplish this?
