Quorum Windows service build

It is recommended that you use Visual Studio 2015 and therefore will need to install this extension:

There are two app.config appSettings that must be set correctly before building:

<add key="quorum.environment" value="my-machine" />
<add key="quorum.workerTypeAssembly" value="WorkerAdapterExample" />

They are:

• quorum.environment - a comma separated list of machine names in the quorum.
• quorum.workerTypeAssembly - the assembly that has the work implementation contained within it. The project WorkerAdapterExample in the solution contains an empty implementation that can be modified to suit

See here for a full configuration reference.

Once installed:

• Open the Quorum solution
• Find the project QuorumWindowsService
• Right click for the VS menu, and build

This will have created an installer that installs the service, and has an empty worker associated with it. The next step describes implementing a useful worker.

The Quorum Windows service project is excluded from the build by default, but you can easily include it by changing options under Build/Configuration Manager.
