Can't see my service installer when trying to Install a Windows Service

459 views Asked by At

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: enter image description here

I cannot see "MyNewService". I can only see "MyProject.project"
What am I missing?

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
