I need to install a service programatically (It even can be done with InstallUtil but it can't be done manually)
I have the following code but can't figure out how to do it properly since that code asks for some class info wich I dont know and I need to know how to use it in order to execute it using teh .exe. The code is as follows:
public static void InstallService(string ExeFilename)
{
System.Configuration.Install.AssemblyInstaller Installer = new System.Configuration.Install.AssemblyInstaller(ExeFilename,null);
Installer.UseNewContext = true;
Installer.Install(null);
Installer.Commit(null);
}
public void InstallService(string ExeFilename)
{
try
{
System.Configuration.Install.AssemblyInstaller Installer = new System.Configuration.Install.AssemblyInstaller(ExeFilename, null);
Installer.UseNewContext = true;
Installer.Install(null);
Installer.Commit(null);
DialogResult NovoDialog = new DialogResult();
NovoDialog = MessageBox.Show("Deseja Iniciar o Serviço?", "Orca ++ Updater", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
if (NovoDialog == DialogResult.Yes)
{
ServiceController service = new ServiceController("OrcaService");
TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1500);
service.Start();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Erro NovoErro = new Erro();
Program.Erro = ex.ToString();
NovoErro.ShowDialog();
}
}
This is how I solveed it
