title: Custom install actions
body: <p>I have now found numerous examples and am none the wiser.</p>
  
  <p>The brief is simple. During install time a form of dialog should pop up and ask the user for DB credentials. These should then be used to create a registry entry. The path of the key is always the same but the key itself is a DB Connection string generated from the user input.</p>
  
  <p>It should ask for a server, db name, user and password. It would be nice to have a 'test' button but not essential.</p>
  
  <p>This is for a windows service.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like I go about adding a class that inherits from installer and override the install and uninstall methods. That's about as far as I get before the information becomes garbled.</p>
  
  <p>The information is not in my book :).  Any ideas how I can present the user with a form when installing my service, and using the responses to the form to generate a registry key.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
  
  <p>p.s.</p>
  
  <p>In response to responses ;).  The environment is Visual Studio and the target system is windows 2003. The server has been developed using the .net framework V2.</p>
  
  <p>This is a standard setup project created in visual studio that installs the service.</p>
