i Solved problem by adding parameter in Service installer "Assemblypath":

   protected override void OnBeforeInstall(IDictionary savedState)
        {                
                string parameter = "YOUR COMMAND LINE PARAMETER VALUE GOES HERE";
                var assemblyPath = Context.Parameters["assemblypath"];
                assemblyPath += @""" "" " + parameter + "";
                Context.Parameters["assemblypath"] = assemblyPath;
                base.OnBeforeInstall(savedState);
        }

Problematic use of quotes ? Try to escape inner quotes with backslashes, as

"\"myExeFile.exe\" \"myParameter\""

Don't really know about InstallUtil, but it that fails, and InstallUtil is needed, install service with InstallUtil but without parameters and then use sc.exe to reconfigure the service, including parameters in in binPath
