I am using windows 7 professional, VS2010 and I created a simple service just to learn how to do it.
In the project properties I have the application type as Windows service. the assembly name and Root Namespace are the same. the Startup Oject is service1.
The compile panel has Platform as Active (86). I did change the advanced compile option to target .NET framework 4.
I can build with no errors. The path is to bin\Debug.
I change to the bin\debug folder where the .exe is built and I run the installutil utility which is successful but my service does not show in my windows services so that I can start it.
What am I missing?
