title: Windows Service Install Ends in Rollback
body: <p>When I try to install a Windows service:</p>
  
  <p>c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\installutil </p>
  
  <p>I get, what looks to be, some success messages and some failure messages. Part way down:</p>
  
  <pre><code>An exception occurred during the Install phase.
  System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The specified service has been marked for deletion
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At the end:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The Rollback phase completed successfully.
  
  The transacted install has completed.
  The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The service is given an entry in the Services applet, but it is marked as "Disabled". When I attempt to change it to another state, I get a "marked for deletion" error message.</p>
  
  <p>There are no messages in the Event Log. There is nothing useful in the log file created by installutil.exe (I believe it's written to the current working directory).</p>
  
  <p>I have no direction to go with this. What do I do?</p>
