Install/Uninstall a Windows Service in a build script with NAnt

Question

Does NAnt have the ability to install or uninstall a windows service, using the InstallUtil utility or whatever else?

Answer 1

You can call Nant's exec task to call InstallUtil and can pass parameters to install or uninstall a service easily

 <target name="install-service">
    <exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory('net-2.0')}\InstallUtil.exe">
      <arg value="-i" />
      <arg value="/name=V1" />
      <arg value="C:\Service\SomeService.exe" />      
    </exec>
  </target>
