title: Windows Service Installation
body: <h3>Scenario</h3>
  <p>I have a server, that has NO Visual Studio Installed. It literally has a normal command prompt and nothing installed yet. We don't want to install anything (except the .Net framework which we have already done). We just want to install a bunch of C# Windows Services that we have written.</p>
  <h3>So far</h3>
  <p>I have been installing and running the windows service on my local machine using a &quot;setup and deploy&quot; project that I built into the application, which I could then use to install the service locally.</p>
  <h3>Question</h3>
  <p>How can I install the service on the server?
  I imagine it can be done from the command prompt only, but what else do I need? - If anything? and where do I put the files that I want to install BEFORE I install them?
  I imagine I will have to compile the application on my local machine in Visual Studio, then copy it over to the server, and then run an install utility to install it on the server?</p>
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
