Windows Services - Installation

[night.skywatcher]

Hello

What really happens behind the scenes when you run installtuil
myservice.exe, or installuti.exe myservice.exe /u? Is there some registry
entry changed, or is the GAC updated?

We have a separate dev and prod environment, and I'm looking for an easy way
to deploy between environments. Also, does installutil have any dependencies?

Thanks

Ignore the msmq stuff.

Check out the way Peter does the install/uninstall.

I've incorporated that into my my services now.

It really helps with the IT people who deploy stuff.
