There doesn't seem to be a nant-contrib users list, so I'll post this here.
I'm writing an installer that needs to install a Windows service (written in C#). I had created a vdproj to install it, but it's a bit limited (and not directly callable from NAnt) so I'm moving it to use the <msi> task. I have everything set up and working except installing and un-installing the service. The question is how should I do this? The example on the wiki says to use custom tables (ServiceInstall and ServiceControl) however if I view my VS created msi file, then it uses custom actions to install and uninstall the service and has no entries in the Service tables mentioned. Are there any advantages to either method? Which one is the preferred one? Any pointers appreciated, Cheers, Bill UK businesses use 2 million tonnes of paper each year.
