I just built a Windows Service for 2008 and found that if you look at the
properties - there is no place to say it is a Windows Service.

In 2005, you had a dropdown for Application Type which gave you the
following choices:
Windows Application
Class Library
Console Application
Windows Service
Class Library

In 2008, I don't have an Application type, but I have an Output type in the
Application tab of the Properties screen It has only 3 options:
Windows Application
Console Application
Class Library

In the 2005, startup object you have 2 choices the program with Main or the
Service class. In 2008, you only have the program with the Main in it and
no service class option.

I assume this is because it doesn't know this is a windows service.

Why is this?

I fixed it.

Saw another post that mentioned changing to Local System and that fixed it.

Thanks,
