how to start service after installation is complete

I am installing MSDE 2000 redistributable as a part of my setup program using Visual Studio Setup & Deployment Project. But I need to start the mssqlserver service manually by going into the control panel, which needs manual intervention. I want to know if this task can be automated. I want the setup program to start the mssqlserver service at the end of installation.

Can anybody please help me with this
Thanks

Kaushik,
This article from gotdotnet has all the instructions you need:

Essentially you will be calling "Net Start etc." from the command line out
of your project.
