Start a Windows service installation setup from within VB.

I have an Administration form that I would like to use to not only set
some variables for the service but also install and start and stop the
service. I have created an install project and can install and
uninstall from Visual studios but i need to kick off the installation
from within the form. Thanks in advance.
