I'm using a Setup Project in VB.NET 2003 Standard to install a windows
service application. I would like this installer to start the service after
install. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Russ

implement a Commit override in your installer class and use
ServiceController to do that.

See the MSDN Topic "Walkthrough: Creating a Windows Service Application in the
Component Designer". Maybe you already did, but that refers to a custom action
that installs your service. In the Install method (override it) use
ServiceController to start it.
(If your company happens to use a commercial tool from InstallShield, Wise etc
etc, you don't need any of the above. They create the right entries in the MSI
file, ServiceInstall and ServiceControl tables, that get the Windows Installer
to do literally all of that stuff without you needing to write code).

You're right, Commit is a better place than the Install method.

Thanks for your answers guys. Did it with the following code in
ProjectInstaller.vb
Protected Overrides Sub OnAfterInstall(ByVal savedState As IDictionary)
MyBase.OnAfterInstall(savedState)
Try
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Shell("net start IpNotifyService")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub 'OnAfterInstall

Is there a reason why you decided not to use the ServiceController class?
