Installing a Windows Service

I was able to create a windows service on vb express by using a template I found.  I can install it manually using the installutil.exe but how would I automate this installation in a setup program?  I have used inno setup in the past and like it.  Any ideas?

Anyone know if installutil.exe is legally redistributable?

If you have developed windows service and then you just need Installshield for deployment.Add your exe and other related and dependent files to your installshield project and  Set Installer Class propery to true of your windows service and build the project. Now you can install/ uninstall your windows service very easily.
Hope this works
