Install / Uninstall a Windows service in a build script using NAnt

Question

Does NAnt have the ability to install or uninstall the Windows service using the InstallUtil utility or something else?

Answer 1

You can call the Nant exec task to call InstallUtil and you can easily pass parameters to install or uninstall the service

 <target name="install-service">
    <exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory('net-2.0')}\InstallUtil.exe">
      <arg value="-i" />
      <arg value="/name=V1" />
      <arg value="C:\Service\SomeService.exe" />
