There is no projectInstaller class. How can I add it?

OK, that works, but only partially :(
Looks like it is not even possible to run setup when one instance of
the product (service) is already installed. When I launch it I'm asket
whether to remove or repair the installation.
Is it possible to tell the installer to omit this check? Then I would
be able to specify different installation directory and different
service name.

Re: Deployment of Windows Service Project
Windows Installer is designed to work with versions , whenever you install
service change the product version of setup project lets say 5.0
install the service the way DeveloperX has explained.
Now when you wish to install another copy of the service change the Product
version of the setup project to something higher lets say 6.00, build setup
project and install.
It should work
