Timer Service installation

The TimerService can be installed in three ways:

  • Using UtilityTool in the /TimerService/ directory.

  • Using generic UtilityTool in the /UtilityTool/ directory.

  • Using Microsoft .NET InstallUtil.

Using UtilityTool in the /TimerService/ directory

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

/TimerService/ 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 -uninstalltimerservice

Using generic UtilityTool in the /UtilityTool/ directory

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

Pointsharp.NiS.UtilityTool.exe -installtimerservice path=C:\Services\TimerService\Pointsharp.NiS.TS.exe

UtilityTool will now install Timer Service as a Windows service using C:\Services\TimerService 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 -uninstalltimerservice

Using Microsoft .NET InstallUtil:

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

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\TimerService\Pointsharp.NiS.TS.exe

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

To uninstall the service:

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

"C:\Services\TimerService\Pointsharp.NiS.TS.exe
