Windows Service Installer

Stu
Hi,

I am trying to create a Windows Service installer but it just dumps the
service executable in the application folder and doesn't install it as a
service.

I have gone through this tutorial http://abstractvb.com/code.asp?A=1082, but
it says you have to pop open a .Net command prompt and run this cammand:

InstallUtil C:\tgol\Myservice\Bin\Myservice.exe

Is there any way of automating this process in the installer?

Thanks in advance,

Stu
