Hi.
I am new to InstallShield and have a task to complete that requires installing a service. I have a EXE that registers the service. I have absolutely no idea as how to proceed with doing this.
I read in the help fire regarding InstallService Table and StartService table, it would be of great help if anyone could please help me in doing this.
A step by step tutorial or an example script or project will be of great help.
With thanks and regards.
Gautam Adlakha.

You posted this question in two sections of this forum. Which project type are you using:
- "Basic MSI"
- "InstallScript MSI" (not recommended)
- (pure) "InstallScript"
The service tables don't exist in (pure) InstallScript projects.

I am using "InstallScript MSI" for my project.
I can see both the tables, InstallServices and ServiceControl, I had even added the fields in the tables, what else do I need to do. Where do I specify the path of the associated EXE file, etc.
Please Help......

Don't populate these tables in Direct Editor.
Instead go to the component (in component view or in setup design view), and expand the Advanced property pages. You'll see sections for Installing and Controlling services.
