Setup Project for a Windows Service

I have written a Windows Service which I need to deploy. I can create a setup project for my regular Windows Application, but I am not sure how to do it for the service part. Do I need to create a regular SETUP package, then run INSTALLUTIL on the service to install it? Is there a more elegant way to do this

Thanks for the help

Look up "Adding Installers to your Windows Application" in msdn. I think
that's what you want. To me, it was a little confusing (at least the first
time around), make sure to folow their steps carefully. The end result is
quite nice.

Thanks! That fixed me up. I had an additional problem because I was trying to install on a Windows 2000 server via a terminal services session. Once I actually installed at the console, everything worked fine.
