Cannot Start Service from the command line or debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe)..

+
+
+ +
+

When you create a new Windows Service project and try to debug it, +Visual Studio will show you a Windows Service Start Failure with the +message Cannot Start Service from the command line or debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the Server Explorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command..

+


+The trick my team and I use to workaround this problem, makes use of the +service Debug flag. If the Debug flag is on, we just start the service +by using our own public Start method. When the OnStart event is fired in +the service itself, we call the same public Start method.

+

This goes in your service.

+
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
+{
+    Start();
+}
+
+public void Start()
+{
+    //Start!
+}
+

And this goes in Program.cs.

+
namespace UdpListener
+{
+    static class Program
+    {
+        static void Main()
+        {
+            #if (!DEBUG)
+                ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
+                ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[] 
+                { 
+                    new UdpListener() 
+                };
+
+                ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
+            #else
+                UdpListener listener = new UdpListener();
+
+                listener.Start();
+            #endif           
+        }
+    }
+}
+

You can set the Debug flag of your service in your service properties.

+

+

The only problem with this solution is that you can’t debug your OnStop +event but this hasn’t been an issue for us so far.
