Instaling service

[zurg]

Hi!
Using VB.Net I've created a Windows Service and it's installer. I need
service to be interactive with the descop - I'm sure that's just something
easy inside instaler (for example: Intreactive = True) but I simply can't
find it...
Anybody?
It's very important for me - please help!

Windows services are not intended to be interactive with the desktop; they
are meant to be processes that run independant of any session so they can
run with no user logged in and in multiple user environments.

If you need to interact with the desktop, consider placing a shortcut to
your program in the Startup folder and having it execute whenever a user
logs in. Another option could be to write another App that interacts with
your service that is run by a user on a per sessions basis (ie your service
is running all the time but when each user logs in, they can run an
application that communicates with your service and allows them to interact
with it).

I hope that helps.

I'm afraid it doesn't help...
Because I need a service to interact with descop to interact with one of my
applications. It's posible because if I install it using srvinstw tool I can
point that it can interact with deskop... and can interact with my app
But when I install it normal way (creating setup, installer and so on) I
have no idea where to point that and I have no communication with my app...
