InstallUtil.exe

The console app I mention here has an installer as it turns out, but I can't run the installer standalone. It needs installutil.exe and complains like so without it:

Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command.

 
 

This suggests C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 has the installer, and that seems to be true. This leads me to think the console app is of the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework and not the 4.0 stuff and that if it were of the 4.0 stuff that I would have to install the 4.0 framework on the server and use the Visual Studio Command Prompt in lieu of InstallUtil.exe.
