Hello all,

Im trying to install a simple windows service that I created that writes a message to the event log every 5 seconds.

When doing so, the setup project builds and installs fine. But when I double click on the executable of the service that gets built, I get the "Windows Service Start Failure" error window indiciating that the service needs to be isntalled first.

I then attempted to manually install it by using the installutil.exe utility and calling the executable directly installutil - i.e. "c:\folder\testservice.exe"

I received a System.IO - FileNotFoundException error.

Please find attached a copy of the two projects - service and sintaller.

Any help would be much appreciated.
