Install and Uninstall Service Host

Scripts for installing and uninstalling service host on Windows machine.

Need to reinstall every time the service is modified and recompiled.

Make sure ServiceHost is setup atc:\AbcService\AbcServiceHost.exe

InstallService.bat

@ECHO OFF

IF "%1" EQU "Quiet" GOTO INSTALL

SET /P userInput=Install AbcService service? (Y/N): 

if "%userInput%"=="Y" goto install
if "%userInput%"=="y" goto install

goto end

:install
del *.log
set path=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

echo Installing the AbcService  windows  service...
echo ---------------------------------------------------

InstallUtil.exe c:\AbcService\AbcServiceHost.exe

echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo Done....

:end

IF "%1" NEQ "Quiet" PAUSE

May need to modify the app.config to point the database connection to your database.

UninstallService.bat

@ECHO OFF

IF "%1" EQU "Quiet" GOTO REMOVE

SET /P userInput=Uninstall AbcService service? (Y/N): 

if "%userInput%"=="Y" goto remove
if "%userInput%"=="y" goto remove

goto end

:remove
del *.log
set path=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

echo Uninstalling the AbcService  windows  service...
echo ---------------------------------------------------

InstallUtil.exe /u c:\AbcService\AbcServiceHost.exe

echo ---------------------------------------------------
echo Done....

:end

IF "%1" NEQ "Quiet" PAUSE

Note:

Once the service is installed, you don’t have to uninstall and re-install the service if you make a change to the app.config file.
