InstallUtil | Port of InstallUtil.exe to dotnet core

I am trying to automate installing windows service using Azure DevOps pipeline. I installed Windows Service Manager from here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MDSolutions.WindowsServiceManagerWindowsServiceManager and added it to the pipeline as a task. The windows service should be installed on the virtual machine where the pipeline is, so I provided "LocalSystem" as Run As Username, and nothing for password. The service was not installed with the following error: Service ' (MyServiceName)' cannot be created due to the following error: The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified

I tried also the credentials I use to get to the virtual machine, but it gave the same error. How can this be solved? Added: The service can be installed without problems using installutil.

I am trying to create a Windows service following this tutorial:

I am using batch code to install the service:

I am trying to deploy jenkins to IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service using persistent volume. Jenkins container stucks at Beginning extraction from war file.

I have tried without persistence and it is deployed as expected.

I install Jenkins via Helm charts on my Kubernetes Cluster. I follow the rules described in: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/kubernetes/

When I look at the pods, I get the following error:

I have a windows service installed.

I have tried to delete by using sc delete or by InstallUtil.exe /u "C:\Dev\myservice.exe"

But these are command line . I was trying to do it using c# But is there a command i can use to delete it via the "Path to executable" ?

The reason is i want to write a dll which can be used to do this, as the service name is saved in a config file and the dll wont have any access to the file to get the name , but the path to executable will be the same, or maybe i can delete by just the .exe file ?

Can this be done ?

I've created a windows service project. In the post build event, I am copying the output to outside one common directory along with one more project. I am generating a MSI using heat task to copy both directories inside MSI. I'm trying to start service after installation.

Both projects use serilog.configuration to load json file which has logger configuration.

If I install service with the help of installutil, service is installed successfully and starts afterwards perfectly. but when I try to install using MSI, I get below error and installation never finishes.

UPDATE.

When writing this question I was assuming wrongly that InstallUtil stores its status in the %ERRORLEVEL% variable rather than the internal value ERRORLEVEL, due to its unexpected behavior. I rephrased the title since it could be misleading. See This answer and my comment below it for more details.

(As a side note, Microsoft doesn't document the exit status codes, nor does it specify if there is more than one error status.)

I'm writing installation and uninstallation scripts for a Windows Service. I use InstallUtil provided with the .NET Framework.

In a SO answer, I noticed this piece of code:

I'm developing a new windows service and I follow the steps provided in this instruction.

In the service class, I do pretty much the same things as the article

I have implemented windows service using .Net Core worker service. When installing service from command prompt, getting error
