Hi,

Problem is that in your system Service Already Installed and you trying to Another Service same name , In case you should have to remove (Uninstall) first existing Window service.
Command for Install / Uninstall Service
1.First get the path where InstallUtil.exe exist its
Mostly the path is same but differ version it can be differ
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe
2.Get the Path where you want to put that Service .exe file (Assume it is on "E:\MyApp\MyTestApp.exe")
3.Command for Install service
Run Visual Studio Command Prompt as Run admin if Windows 8 else no need to it and Type this
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe E:\MyApp\MyTestApp.exe -i
4.Command for Un Install service
Run Visual Studio Command Prompt as Run admin if Windows 8 else no need to it and Type this
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe E:\MyApp\MyTestApp.exe -u
5.In case if you already installed Service and you can see there "services.msc" Service list and you have Deleted physically delete Service file. You Should have to remove that Service in Registry manually

Find sc and Run Command Prompt
Step 5.1 : sc.exe Utility
sc delete

Description:
sc is a command line program used for communicating with the
nt service controller and services.

delete----------Deletes a service (from the registry).
Step 5.2 delserv

Download and use delserv command line utility. This is a legacy tool developed for Windows 2000. In current Window XP boxes this was superseded by sc described in method 1.

Step 5.3 - manually delete registry entries
Windows services are registered under the following registry key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Thanks kunal & pankaj now everything working fine and my required service got installed but thing is

When i tried to run the service manually via services.msc by clicking start its not getting start popping an error with dialog box saying

Your service on local computer is started and then stopped .Some services stop if they are not in use by other services or other programs .. What the error is this --> present service has no dependencies etc . y am getting this any idea ??

follow the link..

i think to uninstall you can use..

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe E:\test\test\bin\Debug\test.exe -u
Pankaj Pandey13y ago
you have to uninstall first installed application then you can install it.

proceding with system.net popping out errors i.e errors i have been mentioning above .. i.e read only error i.e cant assign
SUNIL GUTTA13y ago
Humm those are 4 warnings sorry i mentioned them as errors sorry for that .. how come earse those warnings ??

The warning states "" the recommended alternative for system.web is system.net but when i used system.net poping up 3-4 errors sadly "" ..

Ty pankaj for replies well i look into further more .. if any quiries will revert back at this post ..
Pankaj Pandey13y ago
It is not a problem, you can work with system.net,

many namespaces are combined into other namespaces with version.

so proceed with system.Net, ignore the warning.
Pankaj Pandey13y ago
i had build the application in 2010 it doesn't show any error .

please give detail what the error you got or which type of pb you are facing..
SUNIL GUTTA13y ago

Pankaj Pandey13y ago
it is creating a connection with oledb, you can create it with sql or other database.
Sanjeeb Lenka13y ago
in that 4th point you have to create a data connection using Microsoft Access database. the data base file is attached in that code then you can able to go to next step.

if any doubt reply
