Error Installing Service with InstallUtil

Question

I've recently created a Windows Service and am attempting to install it using InstallUtil.

The service I am trying to install works/installs correctly on a machine running Windows 2008, but I am having trouble getting that same service to install on a Windows 2003 Box.

After running InstallUtil.exe WindowsService.exe in a Command Prompt (Running as an Admin) I get this Error:

An exception occurred during the install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied
The RollBack phase of the installation is beginning... etc.
... The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed.

What could be causing the error in my install, considering this exact Windows Service installs correctly on the Windows 2008 box?

Solution

Win32Exception: Access is denied

Windows does not allow you to do something because of security restrictions. Use Process Monitor to find out what exactly.
