Q: 

Correct InstallUtil Path To File Syntax?

I'm trying to install a Windows Service using a batch file, let's call it "installservice.bat". Inside the file I have the following commands:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtil.exe -i ".\MyService.exe"
    pause

When I excute the batch file (running as administrator on Vista) I get this:

Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Win
dows\system32\MyService.exe' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot f
ind the file specified..

The actual service is located at C:\Services\MyService.exe. What should the ".\MyService.exe" part be for it to function properly?

+1  A: 

Why not just feed InstallUtil the full path?

Thanks a lot, didn't know that would work.
