Services problem

[Precious roy]

Hi every one
I wanted to try and make a service. But when I open the service template in visual studio 2008 an

d build it, it all works fine. Now I install it by tipping (test.exe –install )in the command prompt and it gives me this.

Running a transacted installation.

Beginning the Install phase of the installation.
See the contents of the log file for the C:\Users\danie\Desktop\test\Release\test.exe assembly's progress.
The file is located at C:\Users\danie\Desktop\test\Release\test.InstallLog.

The Install phase completed successfully, and the Commit phase is beginning.
See the contents of the log file for the C:\Users\danie\Desktop\test\Release\test.exe assembly's progress.
The file is located at C:\Users\danie\Desktop\test\Release\test.InstallLog.

The Commit phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.

But when I look in my service explorer I cannot find my Service. So I was wondering what am I doing wrong… I am using vista 32 bit (account: administrator) and visual studio 2008
