A,D Correct answer
Explanation

Windows Services can be installed using the installutil command-line tool or through Windows Installer (.msi) packages. installutil is the manual method for development and testing, while .msi files are used for production deployments. The Service Control Manager manages running services but doesn't install them, and directly editing the Registry is not a standard installation method.
