Installing Zombie Service

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

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