I am failing to Install a windows service and I cannot see where i went wrong.
Here is the error message I get when installing the Service from the SDK command prompt window.

I have developed an application in VB.Net 2005 Express. This app was then transformed into a windows service using a template I found on this forum. I am able to install the service using InstallUtil.exe and I am very happy, BUT the powers that be me are asking for a more eligant method of installing / upgrading the service.
All of my reading suggests I need to upgrade to VS 2008 Enterprise to achieve this goal. Before I lash out and reach for my credit card, can someone confirm the minimum requirement to achieve a pretty service installation.
The setup is running in 32 bit mode and the installer class is made with Visual Basic installer class.
Now the problem is, how to read SQL Server 2008 64 bit registry settings in Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit machine.
E.g. installed instances and the data paths for every instances.
I need to check the SQL Server instance name and read from registry the database location path for that instance.
By default it reads the 32 bit registry so it does not found the settings at all.
Example code that can be set in visual basic installer class would we nice.

I currently have a windows service that is packaged up as an msi installer. However, during the installation i need the user to input their required filepath (to string) location. The filepath variable currently resides in my component class called MyNewService that is inherited from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.
Is there anyway i can allow the user to define the filepath variable during installation?
In my setup and deployment project, I have made all the directories I needed. The problem I have is: With the registry keys, how do I enter the value field with a wildcard for the location to the new installation. People don't always use the default location, so I need my key to dynamically set the registry to the correct place. So what do I do? [ProgramLocation] or something?

I am trying to change the DWORD value in a specific registry path. It starts with the user who is entering the value in decimal into a text box. Then with the click of a button, the application takes that value and change the existing value of the DWORD to the new one typed into the text box. I think I have manage to get it to work with "strings" but I seem to get stuck when it comes to the DWORD key. I have a feeling it have something to do with the hexadecimal value which is set by default. Do I need to create a converter?
