How can I run my windows service as 64 bit

I have a windows service. In the Properties I have the platform target set as X64. In my csproj file I have changed all instances of prefer32bit to false. I am installing the service with installutil.exe when I install and run my service it runs as 32 bit. I am currently building in debug mode. What am I missing here?

I will recommend to use sc.exe util https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/bb490995.aspx. It will install windows service depending on platform target framework information you choose in Visual Studio.

You need to use the 64bit version of installutil.exe to install for 64bit. The normal 32bit version cannot do this.

You can find it in

%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\ $VERSION \InstallUtil.exe

instead of

%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ $VERSION \InstallUtil.exe
