Hello experts, I have this windows service that was installed on a production server a while ago. Fast forward a couple of weeks later and my client has requested some new features to be added to the service. The features were added and the service was regenerated. The problem that I have is that I cannot uninstall the old one. When I run
>MyWinService.exe -Install /u it gives my an error saying that not all the assemblies can be found. A few observations: 1. I don't want to change the name of the service as the client has some strict rules about the naming of all the components. Therefore, the old service must go before the new one (with the same name) replaces it. 2. Since several weeks have passed and I keep my development environment (VS2003/XP) up to date with all the last patches from MS, I am thinking that maybe some assemblies were replaced on my machine as a result of the applied patches. I checked and both my machine and the production server have .NET Framework version 1.1.4322. There is nothing else to install on my machine, but I noticed that the production server (running Win2k3 Server) asks for Service Pack 1. Is it conceivable that installing the SP1 will bring both configurations to the same level? I can check what assemblies/versions are required by the service (using ILDASM.exe to inspect its manifest) and all of them are part of the .NET Framework. Is there a way to check that these assemblies/versions are in place on my production server? Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
