[RESOLVED] Install windows service via Setup and Deployment project
Hi Guys,
long time no post... I've been busy with work and other bits and bobs and not really had much time for programming...
but anyway, I have just written a fairly simple windows service in VB.NET and although I can install it on my PCs/servers using the command line InstallUtil.exe component, this isnt ideal for other people that may need to install it without my assistance.
So basically I just need to know how to get a normal Setup and Deployment VS project to install this service itself... I thought it would be as simple as selecting the service assembly to include in the deployment project and building it, but unfortunately that seems to do naff all.
Do I need to use a 'Custom Action' in the setup project (and if so, how/what do I do?) or is there a simpler way of doing this?
Thanks
Chris
