Installing windows service without VS tools

Hi, i have developed a windows service on my test server and i allways used installutil.exe to install my service. Now i want to install it on a real server, the problem is that i don't want to install Visial Stuido on the server to have access to "installutil.exe" that will install my service. I wonder if there is another way to install a windows service without having VS installed on your computer.

    AFAIK installutil.exe is installed with the .NET Framework runtime in %WINDIR%\Microsot.NET\Framework\<version>. You don't need VS to use it.
