Installing C# service with ManagedInstallerClass

Question

I have been trying with no avail to get this service to install. I am currently using InnoSetup since the Visual Studio installer just didn't entirely make sense to me, to be honest (It is also 1am. D:) I took some of the code from this thread: Inno Setup for Windows service? And everyone there says it worked perfectly for them, but they don't entirely explain what they did or where they put that code. Was it a console application? Where? So, I stuck it where I thought it might have supposed to go. When you add an installer class to a service, a 'Program.cs' class gets created, so that is where I put it. Here is my 'Program.cs': ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.ServiceProcess; using System.Text; using System.Configuration.Install; using System.Reflection; namespace Installer { static class Program { ///

/// The main entry point for the application. ///

static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("MASDjhd")…

Found my answer here: Self install windows service in .NET c#

For those you who want to follow the link, the solution is to add:

```
        var processInstaller = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
        var serviceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller();

//set the privileges
        processInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;

serviceInstaller.DisplayName = "MachineVerification";
        serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic;

//must be the same as what was set in Program's constructor
        serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "MachineVerification";
        this.Installers.Add(processInstaller);
        this.Installers.Add(serviceInstaller);
```

to the constructor of your install class in your service.
