title: Cannot find windows service (just installed)
body: <p>I just installed a windows service using VS 2010, using the installutil.exe, the cmd prompt window said the commit phase completed successfully, but I cannot see the windows service in the local services folder.  </p>
  
  <p>What did I miss here?</p>
  
  <p>I am using Windows 7 and VS 2010</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong><br>
  I un-installed the service (which was named service1) changed the name to something that made sense, installed the service (same process as above), still cannot find it in the services browser.  </p>
  
  <p>FWIW... I renamed my service1.cs in the properties window (filename value).. but it was still showing service1 in the services browser. I ended up changing the values in the code behind as well (auto generated code) this.serviceInstaller1.ServiceName = "service1";</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update (2)</strong>
  I created a dummy windows service, and was able to successfully install that (it prompted me for Domain Login ID &amp; password) and I was able to see it in the services browser.</p>
  
  <p>However, I am not able to see the actual windows service (related to my project) in the services browser. Obviously I have permissions, since I was able to install the dummy service.</p>
  
  <p>According this this site <a href="http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/cant-see-windows-service-after-installation-t2273909.html" rel="noreferrer">Can't see windows service after installation</a></p>
  
  <p>I cannot see the service in the registry in "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services" path.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update (3)</strong><br>
  The log file says </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>No public installers with the
    RunInstallerAttribute.Yes attribute
    could be found in the C:..</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>however, I do have a ProjectInstaller.cs file in the project solution.</p>
  
  <p>I added </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[RunInstaller(true)]</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>to the ProjectInstaller.cs file, still no luck  </p>
  
  <p>Any suggesstions?</p>
