I created a VB.NET Service application and I have decided to install it on my computer using installutils.exe. After building the application, I open the SDK framework command line and ran the following command:
************************************************************************************************************************** installutil KleinDevortService.exe ************************************************************************************************************************** KleinDevortService.exe being the built assembly for the service application. After running this command, I get the following: ********************************************************************************************************************** Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version 2.0.50727.312 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
