So far i have developed the following method

Create your WinApp as normal (look out for further replies from knowledgable
people re: System.ServiceProcess, re my question) you have to then setup a
windows service installer look at the following
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/Oct/DynamicServiceInCSharp.asp to
create the service (I have used this to develop a standalone app that will
install any service)
Use installUtil (look in dotnet framework SDK) to install the service
installer and make sure the imagepath points at your executable -

When you have setup the service make sure that the app can interact with the
windows desktop (right click the service in service manager). So far that is
where i am. The app starts then closes after a timeout - this is where i am
stuck

Hope that helps, if you get further than me, let me know]
