I don't know how to run an installer. In visual studio, when pressing f5, it sends windows commands to the operating system. But again, I encounter with an error similar to this: "This can't be run by windows command." If I am mistaken, can you lead me. While doing this, assume that I have created a windows service project and added the ınstaller and ınstantiated event logs. ----- Original Message ----- From: Katherine Moss To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, May 13, 2011 9:55 PM Subject: RE: Looking for creating windows service application We use installers so that users can follow prompts to get their software installed rather than having to rely on manual placing of the folders, and especially with services, if I'm not mistaken, it takes the command line to register a service for the first time. Not many average users would want to do that. Event logs are the monitoring mechanisms Windows provides for folks who are interested in what's going on, whether things succeeded or failed, and in certain situations, if one understands how to interpret them, they can be used to determine the source of a problem. I use them a lot to determine things. More commonly on servers though they're used.

If so, you can create a windows service application through the visual studio, under the c# treeview just arrow over to service application, I believe it is called, enter the name and off you go. There is some todo information in the source showing you where to add different code, and you would have a starting point (through the .net framework sdk) to look up the classes for more information.
