Just a handy reference! :) Not, simply creating a Windows Service in .NET, then running those scripts won't work. You must also add a System.Configuration.Install.Installer to your project. Along these lines though, I will make one suggestion. When creating a Windows Service, VS.NET really doesn't provide any nice way to test the service, so I would suggest just keeping your code for your service in a Class
