    Hi All... I've got a C# service (Windows Service) that does not show up in the services list after I install it. Does anyone know why this happens

      Did you create an installer for it? I'm guessing that you "installed" it using the installutil.exe but haven't created an installer in the service assembly. Have a look at this[^].

          Hmmm... what's the install log say? No exceptions? On a looooong shot - refresh services list in services.msc.

            If it doesn't show up in the list of services, it didn't install correctly. This probably means the installer class in your service is broken.

                Without being able to see your installer class code, I don't think we can't help you any further.

                  John, I have searched the forums for one of your old replies involving drawing a chalk circle on the floor and other things :-D, without success. I so wanted to use it the other day. ;) Can you repost that here or link to the old reply?

                    I had the same problem, I was using an MSI package to install the Service. The reason it was not showing up was because I never added "Custom Actions" to the Setup & Deployment project. Check this link out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zt39148a(VS.80).aspx[^]
