I'm using a Setup Project in VB.NET 2003 Standard to install a windows service application. I would like this installer to start the service after install. How do I do that?

Thanks,
Russ
 
Try looking HERE

I think you can set the ServiceStartMode on the installer to start on reboot or manual, but I'm not sure if you can actually start the service from within your code using this method. Anyway, hope this helps!
