Instsrv.exe: Service Installer


Service Installer is a command-line tool that installs and uninstalls executable (.exe) services and assigns names to them.

To run Instsrv.exe, you must be part of the Administrators group.

By default, services added with this tool are not started. To start a service via the command-line, see the Service Controller Tool (SC).

A GUI application, Service Installation Wizard (Srvinstw.exe), is also available in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. This wizard provides increased functionality and enables you to connect to and configure services on remote as well as local computers.
