Installing window server on Windows 2003 Can't find Service.InstallState file
<p>I am deploying a windows service which was packaged with the installer (msi and exe) files. Everything worked on my VM which is installed with Windows 2003 OS. When I went to deployed on the real server, I get the following message when I doubled clicked on the msi file and following the installer walk thru</p>

<p>"Could not find file C:\Program Files\ProgramNameFolder\ServiceSetup\Service.InstallState."</p>

<p>Not sure why the InstallState file did not get copied to the folder. I only see the Service.exe file</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
