I have a service installed. I would like to install this service (but with different features) twice on the same server but cant as the second service recognises it as the first. How could i avoid this?

Currently it is requiring the user to install SQL server Express and 3.5 .net framework.what steps can i take to stop the user having to install these 2 so that it is a simple install for them.
View 2 RepliesI've created a windows service and started a deployment project for it. I have the project installer class in the service project and I've added the "Standard output etc.." from the service project as custom actions for the Deployment Project. When I attempt to install it, I get the error "Specified service already exists", which shouldn't happen (even though the service does exist) because the installer should be removing the old service and installing the new one.
I've checked that the versions are different, and that the Product Code is also different, also RemovePreviousVersions is set to true. Can anyone tell me why it isn't uninstalling my old service when I update then install again? .S: MODS: DO NOT MARK MY POST AS ANSWERED, IT IS RUDE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTION!Sorry, it gets ignored in my signature.Mods
I have developed a Windows service. During the installation, I get the following warning/error:�Cannot start service from the command line or debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the Server Explorer, Windows Service Administrative tools or the NET start command.�
I am not trying to start it. I am only installing it (right-click from setup project). The StartType is set to Manual, and the Service Process Installer account is set to User. I do not get prompted for the service login credentials.I am using Visual Studio 2005, VB.Net running on Windows Server 2003 SP2.
I have a service I have written in VB.NET In the past I have always done the installs (internal app), so I have the install set to User, and when I do:
InstallUtil "C:MyService.exe"
It prompts me for the Account and Password, and I am using the local administrator (.administrator)I am setting up an installation script now that the user's can just run to install, and I don't want to give them the administrator password. Is there a silent way to include the user/password in the command line?
I've developed a simple Windows Service basically from following tutorials. However, when I go to add it the list of Services using the "Install Util", I get the following results and have no idea what it means.[code]

I have created a windows service in vb.net. Is there anyway i can create an installation for it that does not require installutil to be used?
View 3 RepliesI've been following a tutorial on [url]...for creating a service using VB Express 2008. I got the first part working and managed to get the sample to install using InstallUtil, but the second part has you use a form with buttons to install and uninstall the service.
I'm wondering if there are instructions for installing the service from a command line so I could just change to a specific subdirectory and type "myservice /i" to install it or /u to uninstall it.
I was reading how to install a windows service by using InstallUtil but is there a way to install it within the form and not use the visual studio console?

I will be googling this but in case I don't find it easily, here is my question - how do you install a windows service that you've developed on your own PC to a server? Is there an option to produce the package (I thought it was an msi file) which you can run on the server?
View 1 RepliesI have written a VB.NET windows service application. I installed it in my system using the Installutil.exe. But this is not available in the client's system because the .NET is not installed in that system.Is there any way to install the .NET windows service application without the Installutil ?
View 4 RepliesI've been busy with work and other bits and bobs and not really had much time for programming... but anyway, I have just written a fairly simple windows service in VB.NET and although I can install it on my PCs/servers using the command line InstallUtil.exe component, this isnt ideal for other people that may need to install it without my assistance.
So basically I just need to know how to get a normal Setup and Deployment VS project to install this service itself... I thought it would be as simple as selecting the service assembly to include in the deployment project and building it, but unfortunately that seems to do naff all. Do I need to use a 'Custom Action' in the setup project (and if so, how/what do I do?)
I need to install a windows service via an .msi for many tablets which is nooooo problem. The problem is, the tablets currently have the service running which was installed by installutil. So when my installer runs, regardless of Remove Previous Version is true, it stops stating the service already exists and to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs.So I wrote a console app which preceeds the primary output as follows:
Sub Main()
Try
Dim filename As String = "C:Program FilesRSCProjectServiceSetupRSCProjectService.exe"
'Dim filename As String = "C:RSCProjectServiceRSCProjectServiceinDebugRSCProjectService.exe"

This method works great for InstanceID, Version and SKUName but now I'm trying to find the installation root as well. For SQL 2005 it appears the property name was SqlDataRoot, but has since been depreciated. Anybody know the correct property name to use to get the data directory, or even just install directory for Sql Server?
I have an application that allows the user to conduct database backups and restores. The users had been using Windows XP, with network security that allowed users to read the registry. For restores, the installation path to the SQL Server named instance was easily found by looking up the instance name in the registry using
restoreDir = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\" & m_DatabaseInstanceName & "\Setup", "SQLPath", Nothing).ToString
They have recently upgraded to Windows 7, and locked down the registry so that users can not read values from it. Is there a way (via code) to find the path to a named instance of SQL Server, so that the app can automatically place the database files (mdb & ldb) in the correct folder?
I need to develop a service and install it into a w2003 box to read excel files a then process its info. The process is as follows, users will upload excel files using FTP and then my service must take those files, validate and then update a SQL Server DB.
The application runs fine on my computer but on the server it asks for the libraries but when I try to install the MS office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies, system displays "Please install Microsoft Office 2003 before installing the product".
I'd prefer to stay away of any server upgrade as we should require OKs, etc.. so, is there a simple way to just read excel files without having to install any update in the server.
