SC.EXE
Windows Services -- Breeze to develop in C#
Developing Windows Services is no longer a nightmare, thanks to friendly .NET BCLs, beloved VS.NET Intellisense. But during development, due to errors, we might need to manage the SCM database directly like deleting the Windows Service and that too, without having the assembly on hand, which is impossible using InstallUtil.exe.
I have developing a Scheduler Service for our application and this was a hurdle for me. Fortunately, I came across this tool called SC.EXE available from Microsoft itself.
It comes with nice documentation at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dndllpro/html/msdn_scmslite.asp?frame=true
Somewhere else, I got a nice downloadable Word document also. I would search again and try to update the same too here.
