I have written a windows service (VB2005) that works fine when tested on my
box.

I now need to install it on a server that does not have VS2005 on it.

How can I do this without using InstallUtil? ( I am not allowed to install
VS on the server)

Installutil comes with the .NET framework (which must be installed
anyway for your code to run), so there's no need for installing VS.

As a separate note - you can actually invoke the installer and
uninstaller from your .Net code; I have a few service exes that also
provide "install", "uninstall", and "console" options (the latter to
run as a flat exe - very useful for simple debugging, as you don't
need to worry about attaching to the process - just hit "play" in the
IDE.
