I have built a windows service application in VB.net 2008, and used the Setup Wizard to add an installation process.

The installer works, in that it adds the app to add/remove programs and copies all of the files etc, but it’s missing the final (required) step of actually installing the service.

I have added the primary output of the Project as a custom action for Install and Uninstall, without success.

what’s the secret?
