Installing as a service

[Brendan Reynolds]

Using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop, I've created a console application (called 'ContainerService') using Topshelf (Version 3.1.107.0). The application works as a console application, but I can't seem to figure out how to install it as a service. What I've tried so far ...

1) Publish the application (using Build, Publish ContainerService in Visual Studio).

2) Run a command prompt as Administrator.

3) Navigate to the folder where the application was published and type "Setup.exe -install"

The application is installed and runs, but as a console application, not as a service.

What am I missing?

Run the command 'containerservice.exe install' should install it. You can do 'containerservice.exe start' to start or use the SCM to start it.

Hi,

You must have missed the Docs: https://topshelf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview/commandline.html

"application.exe install"

There is also lots of other arguments available.
