I am having problems installing my Windows service.
I followed Matt's instructions for creating my service: The easiest language to create a Windows service
ServiceAccount has User installed, although I tried LocalService, LocalSystem, and NetworkService.
The goal of my Windows service is to create a host for my WCF service.
I am running Win 7 64-bit Prof.
In PowerShell w / Admin Privelages, I ran the following:
PS C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727> ./installutil "H:\<omitted>\Host Windows Service.exe"
I got the following error:
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version 2.0.50727.4927 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Running a transacted installation. Beginning the Install phase of the installation. See the contents of the log file for the H:\<omitted>\Host Windows Service.exe assembly progress.

However, the machine might not fully revert to its initial state after the rollback is complete. The Rollback phase completed successfully. The transacted install has completed. The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed.
I even tried disabling UAC with no luck at all. Please let me know if you need more information.
I am tempted to use the Matt method to install the Windows service here: How to start the Windows.NET service immediately after installation? . Although, I am worried that I will encounter similar problems.
thanks
