Service Type Information Panel Settings
Setting	Description
Service	Select the services that you entered in the Services list of the Service Executable panel and then specify the Display Name and Service Type installation properties for each.
Display Name	Enter a display name for the service. This is the name that is displayed to users in the SCM. If you leave the Display Name field blank, the name you gave the service is used as the display name. Note:Other service properties, such as the service description to display on target systems, are available in the component’s advanced settings.
Service Type	Specify whether the service runs in its own process or shares a process with others. Select the Service shares a process with others option only if there is more than one service in the component. If you are familiar with the source code for the service, select This service runs in its own process if it is of type SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, and Service shares a process with others if it is of type SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS. Note:You are limited to the options provided under Service Type. The Component Wizard does not support driver services.
Arguments	Enter command-line arguments to pass to the service when it runs. Expressions of the form [PropertyName] will be expanded to the value of the Windows Installer property called PropertyName.
