I am trying to install a windows sewrvice, and am having trouble doing so. The error I get says I should use intallutil.exe to install the service before it can be used or tested, but when I try and run installutil.exe, I get a error saying this program is not on my machine. Can anyone give me some help with this?

Thanks,

Paul.
 
Open a command window by going to Programs->Visual Studio .Net-> VS.NET Tools->VS.NET Command prompt and try it from there. That sets up all your paths correctly.

Are you sure you are running "INSTALLUTIL.EXE" from the "Visual Studio
..NET Command Prompt"?
 
If you are doing this on a "Production Machine" without VisStudio installed,
installutil.exe is located in {Windows}\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{Version}

For instance, on my WinXP box, it is located in
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705

You can add it to the path if you think you will need it that much, or just
type it all in. If this is a machine with VisStudio installed, Herfried and
Sean are correct, or you can go the hard way as I described. The .NET
command prompt has all the paths set up. Ofcourse, you can be a cheesy
bastard like myself and take the paths that it set's up, and set those into
the windows paths of your machines and never worry bout it again :)
