Web Installer is an online service that lets you customize and generate .exe installers for .NET Windows services (and Windows services only) on-the-fly in several minutes. Install your service without using InstallUtil.exe or sc.exe.

Our Common Questions and Screenshots pages provide details on the Web Installer and how to use it. Below is how it works in a nut shell:

• Code, test and build your .NET Windows service in Release or Debug mode. Download our free demo Windows service project if you are new to .NET Windows services development.
• Upload files from your \bin\Release\ or \bin\Debug\ folder and any other files that your service requires to any website or online file sharing service and make sure you can load each file by typing file's URL in your browser. There are a couple of different methods to host your files. Make sure to read our Common Questions page for details. You may also want to see how a typical file hosting is done by downloading and running our test ASP.NET web application if you are new to web development.
• Click the Begin link on the top of this page. Register and confirm your new account. Sign into the Web Installer.
• Customize, build and download the installer of our free demo Windows service. The Instructions page that you'll see during the process contains everything you need to successfully complete the build. You can build as many demos as you want.
• Install, test and uninstall that demo on any Windows computer. Make sure that it has .NET 3.5 installed.
• When you understand how the Web Installer works, customize, build and download the Standard or Enterprise Installer of your own service.
