It is simple, you only need framework installed. Visual Studio is not required..
If suppose it is framework 4.0 then
1)Open cmd prompt
2) move to below directory
cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
3) Then use installutil -i "windows service exe path"
4) Thats it
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>installutil -i "c:\ABC.exe"
To uninstall the service,
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>installutil -u "ServiceName"
To Delete service
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>sc delete "servicename"
Note : Service name is you name of service which you can get it from services
Run> type services.msc
Hope this helps you. Mark it answered if so.
