Install a Windows service using a Windows command prompt?

To install a Windows service using a Windows command prompt, follow these steps:

  1. Open a Command Prompt window as an administrator. You can do this by right-clicking on the Command Prompt shortcut and selecting “Run as administrator.”
  2. Navigate to the folder that contains the service executable file. You can do this using the “cd” command followed by the folder path.
  3. Use the “sc” command to create and install the service. The syntax for the command is as follows:

    sc create [service name] binPath= [path to executable]

    For example:

    sc create MyService binPath= “C:\Program Files\MyService\MyService.exe”

  4. Once the command has been executed successfully, you can start the service using the following command:

    sc start [service name]

    For example:

    sc start MyService

That’s it! Your Windows service should now be installed and running. You can verify this by opening the Services app and looking for your service in the list.
