Does anyone have some sample code on how to install a type 2 service?

I found that Windows Installer 2.0 does not support this here:

http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q107628

It says:
Resolution
A custom script must be written that uses a setup API to install the driver service. This script can then be launched via a custom action.


I've looked all over Microsoft and google to find some samples on how to do this but no luck.

After many hours of searching I finally think I have a way to do this. It appears that Microsoft is finally addressing this issue:

Here are some tools that is meant for this situation. Now I just have to figure out how to use them. 🙂 I also have to figure out where to find a .inf and .cat file for this particular application because all I can find is the .sys file for it. I may have to create them - ugh!
