Setup windows service

[=?iso-8859-1?B?UmVu6SBKZW5zZW4=?=]

Hi

I have 2 questions about distribution of windows services.

1: How do you perform a click once on a windows service, so that I can
be updated on a regular basis? I can only find out how to distribute
the service by using a installer. So when I need to update I have to
uninstall and reinstall?

2: How do you make the installer setup up restart parameters for the
service (those where you say 1st time it crashes then do this, 2nd
time do this, etc? I have found one guide that requires loads of API
calls; sure it should be possible using managed code?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Treavor, but that example is the only one i have been able to
find so far, and that one requeres a few API calls.

That one was easier to use, but it still uses API's but never mind that

Does anyone know how to make a service Click once?
