Registering a component from Installer

HI All,

I am using InstallShield 2009 (Evaluation edition).

1) The installer that I am working on should install(and register) a primary service. It should be able to start it as I have to avoid any restart of the machine. There are some other services as well that depends on primary services.There 5 different exe files that dependent on this service.
How can I create such an Installer? Any reference or pointer would be of great help.

2) Is it possible to achieve these using "basic msi project" or I have to go for "Installscript MSI project" ?

Thanks

Regarding nr.1, you can create the component wizard or create the services per component under "Advanced Settings", Install NT services where you create them and make the dependencies.
Then you can start the services under "Control NT Services".

It's pretty easy.
