Windows services unanswered recurring question

Hi guys:

response.

To All,

When creating a Windows Service and selecting the "Add Installer"
option from the right-click menu in the service's design window, a
"ServiceProcessInstaller" and "ServiceInstaller" are automatically
created. Does anyone know if there is a way to customize what "Add
Installer" does? .....
.......................................................................................................

What does "Add Installer" ACTUALLY do behind the scenes?

Thanks...

Hi,

Short and simple answer, it auto generates new files. If you are looking
for ways to do this yourself, you need to extend visual studio in some way.
This page might be a good starting point to learn about this.

Thanks for the information. I think my question is actually centered
on how the service class and the ProjectInstaller class (which
contains the "ServiceProcessInstaller" and "ServiceInstaller") are
tied. This is probably a non-practical question...
Thanks.
