I've created a windows service application in VB.Net and I'm now trying to
create a setup project to deploy it on other computers.
Creating a setup project is no problem, but I cannot find how to register my
service in Windows so that is appears in the list of services.
The setup project installs all my files properly under "c:\program
files\programname" but nowhere I can find an action to make it register the
service on the target computer.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks a lot for your help!

(1) The registry editor for setup projects allows you to enter whatever
registry info is necessary for the application.
(2) If you select the project output in the file system editor, you will see
options for registering the component at install time.
(3) Custom actions can be used to do further work after the install.

For an example for how to handle registration of services specifically,
please see:
