To install Workhorse Whip as a service you will need the InstallUtil.exe that is shipped with the .NET framework. Look in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727. The 3.x series does not seems to ship with it. Install: cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 InstallUtil.exe PATH_TO_BINARY\WorkhorseWhip.exe net start "Workhorse Whip" Uninstal net stop "Workhorse Whip" cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 InstallUtil.exe /u PATH_TO_BINARY\WorkhorseWhip.exe
