Question
I wrote a Windows Service in c# (VS2008) and now trying to install it (My project's name is MyProject).
I am following the steps on the article http://msdn.microsoft.com/enus/library/zt39148a(v=VS.90).aspx
and when I get to the highlighted step:
I cannot see "MyNewService". I can only see "MyProject.project"
What am I missing?
Solution
If you will encounter problems installing Windows Service with this link (mentioned in the question)
I used http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816169 and it worked well!
Hope it will help you too!
OTHER TIPS
Look like the The "MyNewService" in the above example is their sample project. Just choose your project name there and then build your project. You should be good to go
Note: for instructions on how to actually install the service on your target machine see here
