I have written a window service testaaa.exe (from template). when running installutil.exe testaaa.exe, i get the below output and there is no service added in the server explorer. /*###########################################*/ Running a transacted installation. Beginning the Install phase of the installation. See the contents of the log file for the c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testa aa.exe assembly's progress. The file is located at c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.InstallLog. Installing assembly 'c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.exe'. Affected parameters are: assemblypath = c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.exe logfile = c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.InstallLog No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be found in the c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.exe assembly. The Install phase completed successfully, and the Commit phase is beginning. See the contents of the log file for the c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testa aa.exe assembly's progress. The file is located at c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.InstallLog. Committing assembly 'c:\temp\service\testaaa\bin\debug\testaaa.exe'.

Remove InstallState file because there are no installers. The Commit phase completed successfully. /*###########################################*/ May I know how to get away with this. I have tried adding installer and setup project. when running the .msi, i was prompt for userid and password. that fail with the following error. /*###########################################*/ An exception occurred during the Install phase. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: No mapping between account names and secur ity IDs was done The Rollback phase of the installation is beginning.

You guys are not going to believe this but you need to specify the full path to the installutil and the problem goes away. I think this might be because I develop with for both 1.0 and 1.1 frameworks. I found this on google. Re: No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be

Hi, I think there is something else going on here. I too am facing the same problem. I added the installers as per the MS-MSDN walkthrough "Creating a windows Service Application in the Compnent Designer" I verified that the lines of code suggested by the above authors were added by the tool and yet I am still getting the same error. The frustrating part for me is I have done this before and gotten it to work. I will let everyone know when I find my dumb mistake.

Thank You, simcnish, I have got this problem too... :-( I make all this insrtuctions, but nothing changed... :-( Currently my project contains ProjectInstaller and my service (monitoring), but log files is: Installing assembly 'c:\monitoring\monitoring.exe'. Affected parameters are: assemblypath = c:\monitoring\monitoring.exe logfile = c:\monitoring\monitoring.InstallLog No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be found in the c:\monitoring\gtwmonitoring.exe assembly. Committing assembly 'c:\monitoring\monitoring.exe'. Affected parameters are: assemblypath = c:\monitoring\monitoring.exe logfile = c:\monitoring\monitoring.InstallLog No public installers with the RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute could be found in the c:\monitoring\gtwmonitoring.exe assembly. Remove InstallState file because there are no installers. What can I do?

You need to add an installer to your Win Service. In solution explorer, double click on your service.cs file & when the design window opens, right-click & select 'Add Installer'. Most of the code will be added automatically. One just needs to add: this.ProcessInstaller.Account = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem to run service under local system account, otherwise you will get a popup asking for account details etc.
