使用 Windows 命令提示符安装 Windows 服务？

Question

I want to install a Windows service using a Windows command prompt (not the Visual Studio command prompt).

How do I do this?

Answer 1

导航到 .net 文件夹中的 installutil.exe（例如，对于 .net 4，它是 C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319）并使用它来安装您的服务，如下所示：

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe" "c:\myservice.exe"

Answer 2

Nothing wrong with SC Create command. Just you need to know the correct args :

SC CREATE "MySVC" binpath= "D:\Me\Services\MySVC\MySVC.exe"

Answer 3

If the directory's name has a space like c:\\program files\\abc 123 , then you must use double quotes around the path.

installutil.exe "c:\program files\abc 123\myservice.exe"

It makes things much easier if you set up a bat file like following,

eg To install a service, create a "myserviceinstaller.bat" and " Run as Administrator "

@echo off
cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
installutil.exe "C:\Services\myservice.exe"

if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto error
exit
:error
echo There was a problem
pause

to uninstall service,

Just add a -u to the installutil command.

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe -u "C:\Services\myservice.exe"

Answer 4

Perform the following:

1. Start up the command prompt (CMD) with administrator rights.
2. Type c:\\windows\\microsoft.net\\framework\\v4.0.30319\\installutil.exe [your windows service path to exe]
3. Press return and that's that!

It's important to open with administrator rights otherwise you may find errors that come up that don't make sense. If you get any, check you've opened it with admin rights first!

To open with admin rights , right click 'Command Prompt' and select 'Run as administrator'.

Answer 5

Install Service:-

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" 
"C:\Services\myservice.exe"

UnInstall Sevice:-

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" -u "C:\Services\myservice.Service.exe"

Answer 6

I must add one more point in this thread. To install/uninstall 64-bit version of assemblies one should use 64-bit version of tool. To install a service, the command should be:

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe"
"C:\YourFolder\YourService.exe"

and to uninstall the command should be:

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" -u
"C:\YourFolder\YourService.exe"

Answer 7

Create a *.bat file beside of your windows service exe file for installing with the following context:

CLS
ECHO Installing My Windows Service 

START %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe "%~d0%~p0\YourWindowsServiceExeName.exe"

Create a *.bat file beside of your windows service exe file for uninstalling with the following context:

CLS
ECHO Uninstalling My Windows Service 

START %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe -u "%~d0%~p0\YourWindowsServiceExeName.exe"

Run each of bat file as Admin to install or uninstall your windows service.

Answer 8

1. Run Windows Command Prompt as Administrator
2. paste this code: cd C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\ to go to folder
3. edit and run this too: installutil C:\\ProjectFolder\\bin\\Debug\\MyProject.exe

Note: To uninstall: installutil /u C:\\ProjectFolder\\bin\\Debug\\MyProject.exe

Answer 9

If you are using Powershell and you want to install .NET service you can use Install-Service module. It is a wrapper for InstalUtil tool.

It exposes 3 commands

• Install-Service - invokes InstallUtil.exe pathToExecutable command
• Install-ServiceIfNotInstalled - first it checks if service is installed if not perform the method Install-Service
• Uninstall-Service- it uninstalls service. ServiceName of path to executable can be used.

Code to this module can be viewed here

Open Visual studio and select new project by selecting Windows Service template in Windows Desktop tab. Than copy following code into your service_name.cs file.

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
namespace TimerService
{
    public partial class Timer_Service : ServiceBase
    {
        public Timer_Service()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        static void Main()
        {
            if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached)
            {
                Timer_Service service = new Timer_Service();
                service.OnStart(null);
            }
            else
            {
                ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
                ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
                {
                    new Timer_Service()
                };
                ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
            }
        }
        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            EventLog.WriteEvent("Timer_Service", new EventInstance(0, 0, EventLogEntryType.Information), new string[] { "Service start successfully." });
        }
        protected override void OnStop()
        {            
            EventLog.WriteEvent("Timer_Service", new EventInstance(0, 0, EventLogEntryType.Information), new string[] { "Service stop successfully." });
        }
    }
}

Right-Click on service_name.cs file and open designer of service. than right-click and select Add Installer . than right-click on serviceProcessInstaller1 and change its property value of Account from User to Local System .

Remove static void main method from Program.cs file. Than save and Build your project.

NOTE: goto bin\\Ddebug folder of your project folder. Than open Properties of your service_name.exe file. Than goto Compatibility tab. Than click on Change Settings For All Users .

Select option Run this program as an administrator .

Now, You have to open CommandPromt as Administrator. After open, set directory to where your InstallUtil.exe file is placed. for ex: C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319 . now write the following command:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>InstallUtil.exe -i C:\TimerService\TimerService\bin\Debug\TimerService.exe

Note: -i is for install he service and -u for Unsinstall.

after -i set the write the path where you want to install your service.

now write the command in CommandPromt as follows:

C:\TimerService\TimerService\bin\Debug>net start service_name

Note: use stop for stop the Service.

Now, open ViewEventLog.exe . Select Windows Logs>Application. There you can check your Service's log by start and stop the service.
