    How to deploy and start Windows Service?

    I'm doing Windows Service programming using C# 2005. My solution
    contains Windows Service project. Then I added Setup and Deployment
    project into the same solution. Both service- and Setup and Deployment
    project are working fine. After running setup, it made files into the
    C:\Program Files\MyCompany \MyService, but how can I install service into
    the services and start this service using only Setup and Deployment project?

    Now I can do this using install.bat-file containing...

    C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \installutil /i MyService.exe
    NET START MyService

    ....and uninstall it using ininstall.bat-file containing...

    C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \installutil /u MyService.exe

    Or am I doing this correct way at all? What is the correct way to
    install this kind of service easily?

    Thanks in advance!

      Go into visual studio help and look for "services, adding installers"

      In my vis studio 2005 help it's at url
      ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio .v80.en/dv_radcon/html/8b698e9a-b88e-4f44-ae45-e0c5ea0ae5a8.ht m
      I've not worked out yet how to get the service to start after installation,
      so if you work it out then please post back here lol

          My deployment project was missing Custom Actions. I found instructions
          of the address http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816169

          Now it's going into services ok, but I'm having the same problem as you
          - how to start this service using only Setup and Deployment project without:

          1. booting computer
          2. or going into Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services and
          start it there.
          3. or using NET START MyService -command

          thanks for the tip anyway!
