Turn (or install) a VB.NET application into an interactive service

Hi All..

I have developed an application (vb.net) that basically wakes up early
morning, and transmits via FTP an access database. The application
works fine. Lately, it hasnt been working, so some investigation found
that the users (all XP Pro) where logging off their PC's.

Of course, logging off their PC's caused the program to cease running.

My vb.net app is installed by a Setup Project under VS.NET. What I
would like to do is to get the installer to install it as a Service
(interactive with the desktop).

Can I do this, or do I have to turn the application into a Windows
Service? If, on the other hand, once the program was installed, if
there is a utility (that works) or some code to incorporate into the
application that I can call with a switch to install it as a service...

Thankyou to all
Robert
