installer instal labview application as window service

[mazhar.ali]

Dear NI

I want to make an installer which installs labview application as windows service.

Currently i am using third party tool to do this. Is it possible with labview application builder.

Documented way is described in the following KB article:

Running a LabVIEW Application as a Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2008/7 User-Defined Service

All what you need is Microsoft Windows Resource Kit.

It should be possible also with installer builder. You should automate described steps (put some entries into the registry and call executable from MS ResKit). Resourse kit should be deployed with same installer (not sure if there "silent" install possible, otherwise read ResKit documentation and license agreement). Alternatively you can build installer with third party tool - in this case you will have more "freedom". In the past I have done this with Inno Setup - works without problems.
