installing windows services..

Question

Hi I want my application icon on system tray whenever the operating system boots. I tried using windows service but i am not been able to run a windows service. Its giving an error like : - Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command. I think i have to install windows services but not getting how to install it. Can anyone suggest me something. Suraj

Suraj The following artciles provide info on setting up a basic windows service using C#. It seems from the error message that the service has not been installed.. Instructions to deploy the Windows Service are included within the articles. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/12/NETServ/ http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/simplewindowsservice.asp Hope this helps...
