I'm not sure this is close to what you want, but here goes anyway. I wrote
it with the same intention as you but with a command-line install.
The parameter "string version" is the runtime version, which will be
something like "v1.0.3705" or "v1.1.4322" (releases 1.0 and 1.1
respectively). It's a bit messy but it works:
private static void RunProcess(string version)
{
Process p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName="\""+Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir")+"\\Microsoft.
Net\\Framework\\"+version+"\\"+"installutil.exe\"";
psi.Arguments = "BirthdayService.exe"; //replace this by the name of
your service executable
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
psi.RedirectStandardOutput=true;
p.StartInfo = psi;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
Console.WriteLine(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
}

Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Automating Windows Service Installation
> Hi,
>
> I have a Windows Service, which has to be installed on to our clients
> Servers. During the development i can use installutil provided in .NET SDK
> to install the Windows service and test it.
>
> Now as a part of deployment I am building a setup project to install this
> Windows service. When I tried to install to one of my test box, I figured
> out that the installation only copies the file. I need to run the
> installutil.exe to configure the Windows Serivce.
>
> I don't want my clients to do this. I am sure there is a way to program
> this in the Setup Project instead of the user doing it.
>
> Any help on this will be appreciated.
