but i am having issues installing it. below is the error message:

The Rollback phase completed successfully.
The transacted install has completed.
My Service1.cs file:
public partial class OGSG: ServiceBase
{
private static readonly log4net.ILog log = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger( System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod( ).DeclaringType );
Timer timer1 = new Timer( );
public OGSG()
{
InitializeComponent( );
this.ServiceName = "OGSG";
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure( );
if ( !System.Diagnostics.EventLog.SourceExists( "OGSG" ) )
{
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource( "OGSG", "MyOGSGLog" );
}
//set our event log to system created log
eventLog1.Source = "MyLogSrc";
eventLog1.Log = "MyLog";
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
try
{
timer1.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler( timer1_Elapsed );
timer1.Interval = 5000;
timer1.Enabled = true;
timer1.AutoReset = true;
timer1.Start( );
log.Info( "Application Started" );
}
catch ( Exception ex)
{
log.Error(ex.Message);
}
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
timer1.Enabled = false;
this.Stop( );
log.Info( "Application Stopped" );
}
private void timer1_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds;
SqlDataAdapter SqlAda;
try
{
using ( SqlConnection Sqlcon = new SqlConnection( ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ContentSever"].ConnectionString ) )
{
using ( SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand( ) )
{
Sqlcon.Open( );
cmd.Connection = Sqlcon;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "InsertRecord";
SqlAda = new SqlDataAdapter( cmd );
ds = new DataSet( );
SqlAda.Fill( ds );
log.Info("Record Updated Successfully!");
}
}
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
log.Error( ex.Message );
}
}
}
My ProjectInstaller Class:
[RunInstaller( true )]
public partial class ProjectInstaller: System.Configuration.Install.Installer
{
private ServiceProcessInstaller processInstaller=null;
private ServiceInstaller serviceInstaller=null ;
public ProjectInstaller()
{
InitializeComponent( );
processInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
processInstaller.Username = null;
processInstaller.Password = null;
serviceInstaller.DisplayName = "OGSG";
serviceInstaller.StartType = ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
//must be the same as what was set in Program's constructor
serviceInstaller.ServiceName = "OGSG";
this.Installers.Add( processInstaller );
this.Installers.Add( serviceInstaller );
}
Please i will appreciate if anyone could help in fixing this?
