从C＃应用程序安装TopShelf服务

Question

Hi I am trying to install a service (created with TopShelf) from a Windows Forms Application, in c#. I was looking at using the Service Manager Class but this doesn't seem to be an option. I therefore Was thinking of using the Process class to invoke the install. usually to install a Topshelf service you run the following :

MyService.EXE install -someOptions

However when I try this within a Process

  var servicePath = @"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Blah Services\\bin\\Gateway\\Gateway.exe"; var userName = "test"; var password = "Word!"; try{ Process proc = new Process(); //call new Process ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(); //call new ProcessStartInfo info.Arguments = "install -instance:default -username:" + userName + "-password:" + password; info.FileName = servicePath; //set the file name (location) proc.StartInfo = info; //put the StartInfo into the Procces method proc.Start(); //Start the procces (sc.exe with the arguments) proc.WaitForExit(); //waits till the procces is don } 

I even thought about using a command window and replacing the Arguments and File name with the following:

   info.Arguments = "//k " + servicePath +" install -instance:default -username:" + userName + "-password:" + password;
            info.FileName = "cmd.exe"; //set the file name (location)

Neither seem to be working though. Has anyone got any ideas?

Just a stab at it, but are you running your WinForms app (or Visual Studio) as an administrator? I have been using the following to fire TopShelf installations as an admin:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\winServices\extracts\bin\service.exe", "install");
