Error installing Windows Service using InstallUtil.exe

I am having some issues installing my Windows Service.

I followed Matt's instructions here to create my service: Easiest language for creating a Windows service

The ServiceAccount is set to User, although I have tried LocalService, LocalSystem and NetworkService.

The purpose of my Windows Service is to create a Host for my WCF Service. I am running Win 7 64-bit Prof.

I ran the following in PowerShell w/ Admin Privelages:

PS C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727> ./installutil "H:\<omitted>\Host Windows Service.exe"

I received the following error:

The Rollback phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.
The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed.

I even tried disabling UAC altogether with no luck. Please let me know if you need more info.

I am tempted to use Matt's method for installing a Windows Service here: How to make a .NET Windows Service start right after the installation? . Although, I am worried I will run into similar problems.

Thanks

Try moving the service and its dependencies to the C: drive and trying again, especially if H: is a network drive.
