!>!1) I created a Windows Service using VS.Net 2003

!>!2) It installed fine using installutil.
!>!3) I then created a setup project to see if I can

!>!4) I 'Add' the primary output and 'view' the 'custom

!>!6) I then tried installing it in:
!>!c:\Program Files\my service\ - no problem

!>!>!Hi Yan-Hong,
!>!>!
!>!>!Just trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Here
!is
!>!>!what I have done:
!>!>!fired up file monitor and registry monitor. I compared
!>!the
!>!>!results between the one which the service was
!installed
!>!on
!>!>!c drive with the one which the service was installed
!on
!>!d
!>!>!drive. The results are exactly the same.
!>!>!
!>!>!So, I did another install of the service through my
!>!>!setup.exe and this time, I installed it on the root of
!d
!>!>!drive. And the service started fine! Then, I installed
!>!it
!>!>!on d:\Program Files\ and it failed to start again.
!(The
!>!>!same failure happened when I installed the service
!under
!>!>!any sub-directory of the d:\Program Files\ folder.)
!>!>!
!>!>!Any idea why? This question is open to anyone.
!>!>!
!>!>!p.s. I have 'Program Files' sitting on c drive too.
!>!>!i.e.c:\Program Files\. Will that confuse Windows (OS)
!in
!>!>!terms of starting up the serivce??

This may
!cause

!In
