Creating a Windows Service Installer in VB.net
By: Steven Holzner
After you've created a Windows service, you need an installer.
Here's the code for the installer in the WindowsService example, Project Installer.vb:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Configuration.Install
<RunInstaller(True)> Public Class ProjectInstaller
Inherits System.Configuration.Install.Installer
#Region " Component Designer generated code "
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Component Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Installer overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal _
disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub
'Required by the Component Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Component
'Designer
'It can be modified using the Component Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
Friend WithEvents ServiceProcessInstaller1 As _
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceProcessInstaller
Friend WithEvents ServiceInstaller1 As _
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstaller
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub _
InitializeComponent()
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1 = New _
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceProcessInstaller()
Me.ServiceInstaller1 = New _
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstaller()
'
'ServiceProcessInstaller1
'
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Account = _
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceAccount.LocalSystem
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Password = Nothing
Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1.Username = Nothing
'
'ServiceInstaller1
'
Me.ServiceInstaller1.ServiceName = "Service1"
'
'ProjectInstaller
'
Me.Installers.AddRange(New _
System.Configuration.Install.Installer() _
{Me.ServiceProcessInstaller1, Me.ServiceInstaller1})
End Sub
#End Region
End Class
