Add installers to your project to handle the registration details. In the Design view, select the background area, then choose Add Installer from the shortcut menu. By default, Visual Studio adds a component class named ProjectInstaller , which contains two installers, to your project.
These installers are for your service and for the service's associated process. Add text to the Description property, such as A sample service. This text appears in the Description column of the Services window and describes the service to the user. Add text to the DisplayName property. This text appears in the Display Name column of the Services window. This name can be different from the ServiceName property, which is the name the system uses for example, the name you use for the net start command to start your service.
Set the StartType property to Automatic from the drop-down list. When you're finished, the Properties windows should look like the following figure:. Set the Account property to LocalSystem from the drop-down list. The LocalSystem account has broad permissions, including the ability to write to the event log. Use this account with caution, because it might increase your risk of attacks from malicious software.
For other tasks, consider using the LocalService account, which acts as a non-privileged user on the local computer and presents anonymous credentials to any remote server. This example fails if you try to use the LocalService account, because it needs permission to write to the event log.
For more information about installers, see How to: Add installers to your service application. Before you decide to add startup parameters, consider whether it's the best way to pass information to your service.
Although they're easy to use and parse, and a user can easily override them, they might be harder for a user to discover and use without documentation. Generally, if your service requires more than just a few startup parameters, you should use the registry or a configuration file instead.
A Windows service can accept command-line arguments, or startup parameters. When you add code to process startup parameters, a user can start your service with their own custom startup parameters in the service properties window.
However, these startup parameters aren't persisted the next time the service starts. To set startup parameters permanently, set them in the registry. Under each service's subkey, use the Parameters subkey to store information that your service can access. You can use application configuration files for a Windows service the same way you do for other types of programs.
For sample code, see ConfigurationManager. Select Program. In the Main method, change the code to add an input parameter and pass it to the service constructor:. In MyNewService. This code sets the event source and log name according to the startup parameters that the user supplies. If no arguments are supplied, it uses default values. To specify the command-line arguments, add the following code to the ProjectInstaller class in ProjectInstaller.
Typically, this value contains the full path to the executable for the Windows service. For the service to start up correctly, the user must supply quotation marks for the path and each individual parameter.
A user can change the parameters in the ImagePath registry entry to change the startup parameters for the Windows service. However, a better way is to change the value programmatically and expose the functionality in a user-friendly way, such as by using a management or configuration utility. Program , or Sub Main for Visual Basic projects. Now that you've built the Windows service, you can install it. To install a Windows service, you must have administrator credentials on the computer where it's installed.
This will add the ProjectInstaller file. Switch to the design view of the ProjectInstaller that is added. Set the properties of the serviceInstaller1 component. Copy Code.

I tried the sample code I keep getting this "WinServiceInstaller Files in Use" dialog when I try to upgrade the installer to a newer version. Member I have the same problem. Have you resolved it?
Any updates for VS ? Any full source code sample about it? Upgrade Installed successfully but New upgraded service instance not running. Hi, Thanks for the article.
