I created a deployment package using the packaging tool with VS.NET for a
windows service that I developed using VB.NET. I tried running the deployment
package with admin privileges from a remote server on all the machines for
remote installation of the service on all of the machines on my network. But
it fails as the MSI installer gives me the following error:

Product: mcmSystemsUpdt -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error
installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The
error code is 2103. The arguments are: 26, ,

Hence, my question is that can I create an installation package for remote
deployment for a windows service? Or else the only way to do so is by coding
a separate application that would use the OpenSCManager for every computer in
my network and then use the CreateService function to create a service on
that computer?

Help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Also, The msi package that I created can successfully install the service
and the accompanying dlls if I am logged onto any machine that I need to
install the windows service on and then install it locally.
