The CHAPI service should self-install when you run the .MSI installer for CHAPI, at times you may also not be able to manually register it via command-line using [[chapi_-_command_line_registration_of_chapi_service]] .



==Prerequisites==
  * The CHAPI folder must exist and have the appropriate files in it.
  * The Chapi.ServiceHost.config must exist and contain the appropriate connection strings. 



===== Creating the CHAPI.ServiceHost_12556 Service =====



We will utilize the Windows command SC to create a new windows service named CHAPI.ServiceHost_12556. This merely adds the service into windows, you'll need to configure it to run automatically afterwards.
  - To register the service, Open a command prompt with Administrative level permissions.
  - Type the following command
    * <code>
SC Create CHAPI.ServiceHost_12556 binPath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cyrious\Control\Chapi\CHAPI.ServiceHost.exe" start= Auto
</code>
  - If successful, you will receive a message stating the **[SC] CreateService Success**.
  - You will need to manually start the service after creating it. 



==Deleting the CHAPI.ServiceHost_12556 Service==



At times you may want to manually delete the service from the windows service list. 
  - To delete the service, Open a command prompt with Administrative level permissions.
  - Type the following command
    * <code>
SC Delete CHAPI.ServiceHost_12556
</code>
  - If successful, you will receive a message stating the **[SC] DeleteService Success**.
