System service development

I’m currently working on a service and am having problems with the install.
Since this is the first service I have written, I used the Visual Studios
VC++ Service wizard to get started and then followed the walkthrough to add
event logging and the installers. Everything builds, but when the installer
runs at the end of the build, it errors out complaining about not finding a
verifiable exe. I have been unable to resolve this issue from VS
documentation. So, my question is how to verify the excutable? Does it
require a certificate?

No certificate needed. Here is something that I just dug up online,
seems this would be your problem:

The service sample in the SDK has always worked just fine for me, you
might want to give that a try.
