Vista - re: Creating an Installer for a Service and an Application

Hi Nick,

I can't tell when you posted this, so it may be far too late to help you with this issue. Also, I'm not sure exactly how this works with VS2003, but the way to achieve this in VS2008 is to add the project output for all of the projects to your installer project.

I've posted a tutorial on creating an installer project that may have some info that helps you. The post can be found here:

Creating an Installer for a Service and an Application

I have multiple projects in a solution in VS 2003. I am using VB.net,
and I have an installer file that build and installs an application
with executable output. I also have a project and installer project
that creates a service. I would like to have these combined into
one .msi installer. How would I go about this? I have the service
installer checked in the configuration manager for the application
installation project, but it doesn't seem create the service.

How would I go about this?
thanks,
Nick
