You could simplify the one line to: using System.Runttime.InteropServices; using System.IO;
psi.FileName = Path.Combine(RuntimeEnvironment.GetRunTimeDirectory(), "installutil.exe"); -- Keith -----Original Message----- From: Paulo Sacramento [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 4:56 PM Subject: Re: Automating Windows Service Installation I'm not sure this is close to what you want, but here goes anyway. I wrote it with the same intention as you but with a command-line install. The parameter "string version" is the runtime version, which will be something like "v1.0.3705" or "v1.1.4322" (releases 1.0 and 1.1 respectively). It's a bit messy but it works: private static void RunProcess(string version) { Process p = new Process(); ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(); psi.FileName="\""+Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir")+"\\Microsoft. Net\\Framework\\"+version+"\\"+"installutil.exe\""; psi.Arguments = "BirthdayService.exe"; //replace this by the name of your service executable psi.UseShellExecute = false; psi.RedirectStandardOutput=true; p.StartInfo = psi; p.Start(); p.WaitForExit(); Console.WriteLine(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()); } =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor� http://www.develop.com NEW!
