BestPractice Install/Update Topshelf-Service from InnoSetup

[Stefan Rinkes]

Hi,

I just wanted to ask if somebody has already created a Topshelf project with an InnoSetup-Installer.
I'm interested how to add the install/update of the topshelf-service in a InnoSetup configfile.

Goal is to have a setup.exe and in the end the service is installed/updated and running.

Use the Topshelf command-line and call it as an external once the
files are in the proper folders. There are command line options for
pretty much everything any service installed would need.

Currently I have following lines in my InnoSetup file:

[Run]
Filename: "{app}\service.exe"; Parameters: "uninstall"
Filename: "{app}\service.exe"; Parameters: "install start"

[UninstallRun]
Filename: "{app}\service.exe"; Parameters: "stop"
Filename: "{app}\service.exe"; Parameters: "uninstall"
