Raj, You need to add a "Custom Action" from the View/Editor menu. Add your windows service executable to the Install and Uninstall (the equivalent of installutil /u) nodes, set the "InstallerClass" property to true and that will do the trick.

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. Raj =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorR http://www.develop.com NEW!
