Well this is the entry for that topic:

[url]http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ddhy0byf(VS.80).aspx[/url]

where it talks about installer classes, custom actions etc. However if you
just launch the MSI file, the Installer classes can't install Services
because the custom action code ends up running as a limited user. You will
need to generate and use the setup.exe launcher because that elevates when
it starts and consequently the MSI setup runs elevated.
