Hello

I have been working on a service application in J# for a while now.
Since we are starting to test it, we are attempting to install it on a
test box. The first test went fine (as far as installing as a
service) but now it will not install at all. When I am trying to test
a new version I first uninstall the service (InstallUtil /u ...) and
then try to install the new one. This procedure worked for a few
version tests but now it no longer wants to install the service (BTW,
all boxes are up to date patch wise).

Here is the output from the console when trying to install the
service:

Ooops!

Yes something was missing and I have since fixed the problem.

Thanks for the reply, sorry to have wasted your time.

Ok so you 'fixed' the problem...How? 'Something was missing' doesn't really help the rest of us who have the problem...

It has been a while since this happened but I will try to remember...

There was an incorrect/missing reference to an external dll that had
been moved. Once I re-mapped all of my project references (the
solution is made up of several separate projects which compile into
dll's), I was able to re-compile and install my service without error.


Hope this helps!
