You need to add an installer to your service and configure it (user account etc...). To create the installers for your service. 1. Go to the design view for you service. 2. Click the background of the designer to select the service itself. 3. In the Properties window click the Add Installer. By default a component class containing two installers is added to your project. 4. Access design view for ProjectInstaller and click ServiceInstaller1. 5. In the Properties window set the ServiceName property to your service name. 6. Set the StartType property to Automatic. cheers Dom
