Creating a simple Windows Service .. can't find it??

[jobs]

Seems like I followed all steps but I can't find my service in the
service manager??

f:\windowsservice\EmptyService\EmptyService\bin\Debug>InstallUtil

ervice.exe

Running a transacted installation.

Beginning the Install phase of the installation.
See the contents of the log file for the

Service.InstallLog

The Commit phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.

f:\windowsservice\EmptyService\EmptyService\bin\Debug>

After I do this I get a popup window that says
Cannot start service from the command line or debugger.

The event log says:
Service cannot be started. The service process could not connect to the
service controller

Something strange in is when My Project, Start up object is set to
"Service1" which is NOT the name of my class or the service.. it's
should be EmptyService I think, but I can't seem to change this.

Also, when I right click on the installerproject, what should I enter
for CustomTool and CustomToolnamespace? I entered Emptyservice for
both.

I noticed when I click on add installer project again, it says service
name is empty, too long or has invalid characters.

Thanks for any help or information.

The service name needs to be set in the installer class.
