Can't find windows service in service lists

Question

I installed a Windows Service under an account type user in service installer. When I try to start it from service lists I can't find it. If I change the account type to local service in the installer then I can find it. I need to built it under a user account. How to solve this?

Answer 1

save this text to a batch file(.bat) and run in the sample folder with your window service

@ECHO OFF
ECHO -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO ------------------------------ Auto Install Windows Service -----------------------------
ECHO -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ECHO --- Typing the path of Windows Service need to install
@SET /p serviceName=
IF NOT "%serviceName%" == "" (
    ECHO --- Installing "%serviceName%"
    ECHO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil %serviceName% -i
    net start yourservicename
    ECHO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    PAUSE
)

Answer 2

Sometimes this happen when you install the service and the List Service Window is open. just install the service with the service windows close, sound silly but it works.
