Installing Windows Service

What is a windows Service ?
 Windows service is a long running process that runs as a background process in windows OS.
          We create windows service when we need to perform tasks without the user interaction. Like regular application windows services lacks UI for user interaction.

We can install windows service by navigating to installutil.exe file that resides in Microsoft.Net Folder inside Windows folder.
For for .net version 4
the file path is  C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
 we can install the service by running the following command in CommandLine  opening it as an Administrator.

"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\installutil.exe" "E:\servicename.exe"
 
See the following command run  for installing the merotrackerlistener in the system.
 
 
 After running the command windows service is installed in the system.
