Hi there
when i try to install a windows service on my computer i get an access denied message even though i have full administrator rights
What could be the problem?
 
I added a setup project inside the win service project and after building it up a setup.exe was created. when i run it i get the access denied error. I also tried running the installutil.exe at the command prompt, same error
 
I created a basic service and then right clicked on the design window--> Add installer
It then created a projectInstaller.vb form with the installer components. When the service was built the installutil.exe utility worked fine

Have you done this? I dont think the setup process by itself does this necessary step

The installer object/componenet in your Windows Service project has some
properties on it relating to login settings, have you tried to verify those.

Also, I'm pretty sure you'll have to be an Administrator on the machine to
install the service... that could explain an Access Denied.
