#REGISTER WINDOWS INSTALLER SERVICE CODE#
Here's a bit of sample code from one of my services you can use as a starting point. I follow Kelsey's first set of steps to add the installer classes to my service project, but instead of creating an MSI or setup.exe installer I make the service self installing/uninstalling. Choose whichever you want to use to deploy your service. Next build your installer and it will produce an MSI and a setup.exe.

By selecting the installer project as well and looking at the properties windows, you can edit the Product Name, Title, Manufacturer, etc. Change the 'Output file name:' to whatever you want. You can edit the installer output name by right clicking the Installer project in your solution and select Properties. Repeat steps 4 - 5 for commit, rollback and uninstall actions.Click OK to select "Primary output from." option.In the "Select Item in Project" dialog, select Application Folder and click OK.Right-click on the Install action in the Custom Actions tree and select 'Add Custom Action.'.(In VS2008 it might be View > Editor > Custom Actions) Right click on the setup project in your Solution Explorer.Next edit your installer to make sure the correct output is included. On the 3rd step, select "Primary output from." On the second step select "Create a Setup for a Windows Application."

Visual Studio 2010 it is located in: Install Templates > Other Project Types > Setup and Deployment > Visual Studio Installer This could vary slightly for different versions of Visual Studio.ī. Right click on your solution and add a new project: Add > New Project > Setup and Deployment Projects > Setup WizardĪ. The best thing to do is use the setup wizard. You should then setup the properties as you need such as service name and user that it should run as. Then you will have 2 components on the design view of the ProjectInstaller.cs (serviceProcessInstaller1 and serviceInstaller1).In case you need the same service running on the same host but with different configuration, logically you would use same code just copy the service folder with different configuration and use installutil to install service with a. The is easily done with different build configuration transformations. This will add an installer project file to your project. Using same service with different configuration is one of the scenario you might run into. Then right click on the gray area and select add installer.
