Windows Service not appearing in services list after install

Viewed 95302

I've created a windows service in C#, using Visual Studio 2008 I pretty much followed this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/simplewindowsservice.aspx

I created a setup project, as instructed to in the article, and ran it... it installs my service to C:\Program Files\Product etc.... however, it does not then appear in the services list..

What am I missing?

I got owned in the face by this one, so I'm putting it here just in case anyone else runs into it.

If you followed the instructions in the guides but are still having issues installing, ensure your Installer class is public. Internal won't work.

remember to check the name you've given your service before you search. (right click-> properties->check the service name
