I have a Windows Service project in Visual Studio in C #, however, I need to install this project from lines of code, without using #

    • Is there any way to do this?

    You can use the ManagedInstallerClass (responsible for dealing with the Installutil ), more specifically, the method InstallHelper : 

    static void Main(string[] args) {
    if (System.Environment.UserInteractive) {
        if (args.Length > 0) {
            switch (args[0]) {
                case "-install": {
                   ManagedInstallerClass.InstallHelper(new string[] { Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location });
                   break;
                }
                case "-uninstall": {
                   ManagedInstallerClass.InstallHelper(new string[] { "/u", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location });
                   break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    else {
        ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
        ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[] { new MyService() };
        ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
    }
}

    Example usage:

    • Install: meuProjeto.exe -install
    • Uninstall: meuProjeto.exe -uninstall
