Receiver Service installation

The ReceiverService can be installed in three ways:

  • Using UtilityTool in the /ReceiverService/ directory.

  • Using generic UtilityTool in the /UtilityTool/ directory.

  • Using Microsoft .NET InstallUtil.

Using UtilityTool in the /ReceiverService/ directory

Open the UtilityTool in the /ReceiverService/ directory and then select ServiceManager. Select "Install Receiver Service". Verify the path to the service. UtilityTool will now install Receiver Service as a Windows service using

/ReceiverService/ directory as working directory. Note that the service will be installed with LOCAL SYSTEM account. If the service should use another account, this procedure must be operated in the Windows Service Manager.

To uninstall the service:

Pointsharp.NiS.UtilityTool.exe -uninstallreceiverservice

Using generic UtilityTool in the /UtilityTool/ directory

Copy the content of the /ReceiverService/ directory to an optional path in the Windows environment (e.g. C:\Services\ReceiverService). Set the execution path against the UtilityTool in the /UtilityTool/ directory:

Pointsharp.NiS.UtilityTool.exe -installreceiverservice path=C:\Services\ReceiverService\Pointsharp.NiS.RS.exe

UtilityTool will now install Receiver Service as a Windows service using C:\Services\ReceiverService as working directory. Note that the service will be installed with LOCAL SYSTEM account. If the service should use another account, this procedure must be operated in the Windows Service Manager.

To uninstall the service:

Pointsharp.NiS.UtilityTool.exe -uninstallreceiverservice

Using Microsoft .NET InstallUtil

Copy the content of the /ReceiverService/ directory to an optional path in the Windows environment (e.g. C:\Services\ReceiverService).

Open Windows Command Prompt as administrator. Set the execution path against the InstallUtil:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe

"C:\Services\ReceiverService\Pointsharp.NiS.RS.exe

Microsoft .NET InstallUtil will now install Receiver Service as a Windows service using C:\Services\ReceiverService as working directory.

To uninstall the service:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u

"C:\Services\ReceiverService\Pointsharp.NiS.RS.exe
