How can I install a windows service onto a machine that doesn't have Visual Studio installed?

The only way to install windows-service I know is using "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt", Is there a way to install windows-service on a machine which isn't having Visual Studio installed (assume that .Net version 2.X is installed.)

Solution

you can do it with installUtil which resides in the .net framework folder (on my machine it's C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727).
