I was using the Visual Studio installer project for installing my product. Now it looks like the official approach is to use Install Shield Limited Edition project. Now I checked in the Limited Edition project type, and there does not appear to be a way to install windows service. Also the support for custom action also does not seem to be there. Am I missing something ?. Basically will I be able to do the following -

  1. Create a windows service installer project in Install Shield Limited Edition.
  2. Add custom actions - does not look like
  3. Silent installer.
