This script uses the Service Control tool (sc.exe) to create or update a Windows Service. It assumes some variables have been set in the Deployment Manager web interface:

Code:

# These variables should be set via the Deployment Manager web interface:
#
# ServiceName - Name of the Windows service
# ServiceExecutable - Path to the .exe containing the service
#
# sc.exe is the Service Control utility in Windows
$service = Get-Service $ServiceName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$fullPath = Resolve-Path $ServiceExecutable
if (! $service)
{
Write-Host "The service will be installed"
New-Service -Name $ServiceName -BinaryPathName $fullPath -StartupType Automatic
}
else
{
Write-Host "The service will be stopped and reconfigured"
Stop-Service $ServiceName -Force
& "sc.exe" config $service.Name binPath= $fullPath start= auto | Write-Host
}
Write-Host "Starting the service"
Start-Service $ServiceName

This script uses InstallUtil.exe to install custom Event Log sources and Windows Services:

Code:

$NetFrameworkDirectory = $([System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment]::GetRuntimeDirectory())
& (Join-Path $NetFrameworkDirectory "InstallUtil.exe") "path\to\my.dll" | Write-Host
