InstallUtil is not working?

Hi, I have .Net FrameWork 3.0 and there was no Installutil in the folder so i added following files from v1.0

• 
  installutil.exe
  mscormmc.cfg
  mscormmc.dll
  regsvcs.exe
  regsvcs.exe.rtm

When i run the installutil

Code:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#>installutil "C:\Program Files\Mic
rosoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\CSharpProjects\MyService\MyService\bin\Release\MyServ
ice.exe"

And then when i execute the application again it shows a popup to run installutil again or start the app from Windows Services.

Please help

 

Code:

[B]Installer Class[/B]
public partial class Installer1 : Installer
    {
        private ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller;
        private ServiceProcessInstaller processInstaller;

        public Installer1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            processInstaller = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
            serviceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller();

            // Service will run under system account
            processInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;

            // Service will have Start Type of Manual
            serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Manual;

            serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "Hello-World Service";

            Installers.Add(serviceInstaller);
            Installers.Add(processInstaller);

            
        }
        

Service Class

Code:

 public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
    {
        protected Timer timer;

        public static void Main()
        {
            ServiceBase.Run(new Service1());
        }

        public Service1()
        {
        CanPauseAndContinue = true;
        ServiceName = "Hello-World Service";

        timer = new Timer();
        timer.Interval = 1000;
        timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimer);
        }

I have now only Installer Class and Service Class what next action to be done? I have the latest .NetFramework 3.0 what can be done?

Please Advise?

 

yes It worked. Thanks Service has been added and its in the running state.

Solution was to add [RunInstallerAttribute(true)] declaration on top of Installer Class

 

Even after having RunInstaller(true) before the service installer class we were getting "Remove InstallState file because there are no installers."

after spending almost like half a day i realized that the serviceinstaller class is not set as public ............hmmm ..... after setting the class to public, it was all happy time ..........
