A question about Windows service

[TonyJ]

Hello!

I think I might need to use windows service. I just read about it on the
Web.
In one place it says the following
"Some custom actions need to occur when installing a Windows service, which
can be done by the Installer class."
I just wonder can somebody tell me what kind of custom actions need to occur
when installing a windows service.

In order to install a working Service on Windows, various entries need to
be written to the Windows Registry so that Windows will know about it.
Normally, you don't have to concern yourself about those entries; you just
add an Installer to your Service in Visual Studio, you click on it to
configure a few properties such as the Service Name, and you are done.
