How to install a Windows service using command line ?

1>> Make a build of the service project then go to bin directory and copy required build files from either of the directory Release / Debug.

2>> Service will be in .exe file. This should be installed now, by using a command line   as below –

Copy blow one to bat file , name it as install.bat.

c:

cd c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

InstallUtil.exe "E:\test\testservice.exe"

pause

Run install.bat to install the service.

3> To uninstall there are two ways –

               a)

c:

cd c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

InstallUtil.exe –u "E:\test\testservice.exe"

pause

b)

sc delete <serviceName>

pause

               Some time using point number 3.a  , it is required to restart the windows machine so better to use the point 3.b.

Note- if you struck with the service which is already installed then you can kill that process , either using command line or ctrl+Alt+del select service and kill the process.
