Let me clarify myself.
I want
1) N distinct Windows 2000 Services wih N distinct service names
2) One Project installer .vb (and .resx) file.
3) ONE Service .vb and .resx file.
4) One Visual Studio VB .Net project
I have now managed to do the following:
1) Created multiple copies of the .vb and .resx file for my Service
1.1) Removed the main method in all but the first Serivce .vb file
1.2) Modified the Main method of my first Service .vb file to do
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New MyService
(), New MyServiceA(), etc etc. etc.}
2) Added ServiceInstallers for MyServiceA....MyServiceZ
What I want is to to be able to 'dynamically' create MyService{A-Z} (and
dynamically add Installers in ServiceInstaller .vb file). The ticky bit is
that in the main method of the first service, it instantiate the services
MyService{A-Z}, and I don't want to have to copy and paste and modify
MyService, renaming to MyService{A-Z} within the file, if you see what I
mean.
If anyone could help, please reply to the mailing list.
