How to install a service with a description?

[mdb]

When I'm using an Installer class to install my service, there doesn't seem
to be any way to provide a description. How can I accomplish this?

-mdb

Look at the code generated behind the Project Installer. Add this in
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As
System.Collecti ons.IDictionary )

MyBase.Install( stateSaver)

Dim oKey As RegistryKey

Dim sValue As Object

Try

oKey = Registry.LocalM achine.OpenSubK ey("SYSTEM\Curr entControlSet\S ervices\"
& Me.ServiceInsta ller1.ServiceNa me, True)

sValue = oKey.GetValue(" ImagePath")

sValue = sValue & " " & Me.ServiceInsta ller1.ServiceNa me

oKey.SetValue(" ImagePath", sValue)

oKey.SetValue(" Description", "Stick your description in here!!")

End Sub
