The easiest route to installing and uninstalling Zombie Service is via command line.

  • Navigate to the folder that has ZombieService.exe. In my case that would be a place that I am building Zombie to so \ZombieService\debug location
  • Run install command with a /u flag to uninstall an existing service: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /u ZombieService.exe
  • Run install command to re-install, this time skip the /u flag: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe ZombieService.exe

Silent Intall

Launch the command line tool, or PowerShell, and type this in:

msiexec /i ZombieInstaller.msi /quiet /qn SETTINGS_PATH="<path to settings>" ACCESS_TOKEN="<access token>" WEB_SERVICE_ENDPOINT="<path to logging service>"

Silent install is pretty useful when Zombie is being deployed to users via batch scripts. It doesn't show the UI, and just takes place in the background. You can optionally pass \log argument followed by a path like so: \log "C:\Some Path.txt" to generate a log file for the install process.

UI Installer

Simply double slick the ZombieInstaller.msi and you will be presented with a series of windows:

Welcome screen. Nothing important happens here.

License agreement page. Please say you agree to the MIT license and rules to proceed.

Fill out the settings. These are quite important. For more info see here:
