The code above doesn't have a JurService class so I assume you didn't
post your real code. 
Did you add a reference to the System.ServicePorcess assembly?
I suggest you put your class into a namespace.

IIRC, some of theses are attributes so they should go in the same
source file. Otherwise they just have to be in the same assembly.
(There is an installer which comes with .net that will read your
assembly)

As I said you only have one assembly (which may contain more than one
source file). The .net installer will read this file and find the
ServiceProcessInstaller class and use it to register the service. This
is true even if you only have one service. (Unless you want to
register it manually, which you don't)

The OnStart, OnStop, etc methods need to return almost immediately so
you cannot put your main process in there since it will run almost
continuously. You will generally need to start a separate execution
thread and run it from there. (There are other ways but this is the
most common)
