I m getting an error that cannot start service from command

windows service should be first install and then started with server explorer,
administrative tools or the net start command

this is the error i m facing. I have tried starting the service from  computer 
management - service and application, running cmd through admin  rights. 

below i m attaching my code. 

this the code

Service1.cs

public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
    {
        private Timer timer1 = null;

        public Service1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            timer1 = new Timer();
            this.timer1.Interval = 60000; //60 sec
            this.timer1.Elapsed +=new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler-
           -(this.timer1_Tick);
            timer1.Enabled=true;
            Library.WriteErrorLog("test windows service started");

            
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            timer1.Enabled = false;
            Library.WriteErrorLog("Test Service ended");
        }

        public void timer1_Tick(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            //job
            var result = RunProcess(@"C:\Abhay\batfile", "webupknvp.Bat", "", false);
            if (result == 0)
            {
                // success
                Console.WriteLine("Sucess");
            }
            else
            {
                // failed ErrorLevel / app ExitCode
                Console.WriteLine("failed try again");
                
            }
            

        }

        public int RunProcess(string workDir, string appName, string args, bool hide = false)
            {
                    
                    Process proc = null;
                    proc = new Process();          
                    string batrun = string.Format("cmd.exe", "/c" + @"C:\Abhay\batfile"); 
                    proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;   //addition   	
                    proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = workDir;//batrun
	                proc.StartInfo.FileName = appName;
                    proc.StartInfo.Arguments = args;
	                proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = hide;
                    
	                proc.Start();
	                proc.WaitForExit();
	
	                return proc.ExitCode;
               }
    }
