The batch file was used to register the service by using the installutil.exe program. The service used to be installed by copying the exe and then running the batch file, this is just a first step towards making an install with some custom parameters.

Your tip applies to installers in general… but in your specific example, why didn’t you use a ServiceInstaller and ServiceProcessInstaller? What does your batch file do?

I remember not being able to get my code to work that way. I had to do something like this:

while (!(processStopIIS.HasExited))
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
