Cannot run '10 - Background Http service' as a Service

Using Delphi XE7 Update 1 and the latest 'unstable' version of 'mORMot', I have compiled project 'httpservice.'

When I run the 'httpservice' executable with the '-c' parameter, everything works as expected.

When I try to install the service (via a call, in administrator mode, to the command line  'httpservice /install'), I do not get the usual 'Service installed' confirmation message. In addition, the service does not show up in the list of installed services.

Am I missing something important?

Are you using the latest version of the source code?

For installing, you should use HttpServiceSetup.exe, not HttpService.exe.

Yes, I was/am using the latest source code (1.18.628).

Per your suggestions, I used 'HttpServiceSetup /install' instead of 'HttpService /install' and I was able to successfully install the service.
