Hi,
I read a tutorial on MSDN about the creation of a simple windows service, and then install it from Visual Studio.NET command prompt using InstallUtil ... command.
My question is: how can we deploy this windows service so that we can install on another computer that doesn't have Visual Studio.NET installed.
I mean can we create an installer or some package for it, or must we need Visual Studio.NET command prompt also on another computer.
Please help.

You can get the installer to automaticle install the service. I have just rolled one out where I included a batch file in the root directoy of the application that would do the install part. Remember the as long as the user has the .net framework installed they have the tools to install the service as they are part of the runtime and not just part of visual studio.
