If you have the enterprise version (i'm not sure if that option works for non enterprise), you will have a "services" option on the "Project details" tab. you can register services there.

Hi,

Advanced Installer allows you to register a native Windows service through the "Services" page:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... rvice.html
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... vices.html

Please note that you cannot install any EXE as a service (custom code which sets the EXE as a service must be present in the executable).
