Install util looks for service on wrong folder
.net, batch-file, c#, installutil, service
Solution
I don't know anything about the install process. But `%~dp0` will give the absolute path of your running batch file. So if your exe is in the same folder, you could try:
"%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil" "%~dp0MyService.exe"
Problem
3 I'm trying to install a Windows Service using a batch file, let's call it "setup.bat". Inside the file I have the following commands: ``` "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil" "MyService.exe" ``` When I excute the batch file (running as administrator on windows7) I get this: Exception occurred while initializing the installation: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Win dows\system32\MyService.exe' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot f ind the file specified.. The actual service is located at `"SomeRandomLocation\MyService.exe".` the bat file is `"SomeRandomLocation\setup.bat"` what is going on? how do I force it to install from my "setup.bat" folder? this should work dynamicly. meaning in any folder!
