I have this task that creates a service:

Target Name="InstallService" DependsOnTargets="CopyFiles" Exec Command="sc \remotecomputer create "ServiceHost" binPath= "E:\ServiceHost.exe" DisplayName= "ServiceHost"" WorkingDirectory="c:\" ContinueOnError="false" / /Target

The problem is that when I run this script it doesn't know the \remotecomputer.
