Review the information the wizard has collected, and click Finish to create your service component.
The wizard provides smart defaults for all of your component’s properties. You can review the property sheet in the Setup Design views. Of particular importance for an service is the Remote Installation setting, since Windows Installer cannot install a service that does not reside on the local system.
If you launched the wizard by right-clicking on a feature, the new component is associated with that feature. Otherwise, you must open the Setup Design view, right-click on one or more features, and select Insert Components to associate your new component with a feature.
Note:Components that are not associated with a feature are displayed with the orphaned component icon.
After the wizard finishes, you can modify any of the installation options for the component’s Services node under the Advanced Setting area of the Components view.
InstallShield provides functionality for controlling this service or others on the target system. For more information, see Installing, Controlling, and Configuring Windows Services.
