Unable to See the my custom-made Windows Service in Services

I am currently developing a Custom made windows service using the .NET 2.0 Framework. I have used the InstallerUtil.exe and it installs perfectly(according to the Log from command prompt). But, thing is, I am unable to find it under Windows Services. I ran previous custom made services using 4.0 framework on my PC and it ran just fine. Note that I ddnt put any code in the service yet. I just need to make it start once it is installed.

I've heard of problems like this with InstallUtil.

Try using the command line sc program:

sc create "service name" binPath= "full path to service exe" start= auto

Just take care with the spaces in the command line.
