created windows service

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have created windows service.In the pgm there is a function call
which is to the DLL. .Now i have to make the pgm installable.How can we
put the pgm along with the DLL.I just put both these in the insert file
list of INSTALL SHIELD.Then during installing the service both the
files(.exe and .dll) are in the same folder.but while starting the
service, error occurs file not found....(i think the .exe can't access
the dll file,because of the incorrect path).........same path problem
comes in making the createService call. how can i solve this.Is there
any default working directory where i can put this DLL ?

    ... I also don't know what would be the point of only grabbing the DLL from SxS if it was the exact same version as what was manifested to; if no one screwed up, the same version numbers would indicate identical DLL's, and who cares whether the DLL is loaded from SxS or from the app-local directory, it is the identical DLL? ...
