When creating a deployment pack, which contain a service, many install programs doesn't support the function to install and start a service. This small tool is able to install and start/uninstall and stop services with a command line, making it quite usefull for installation scripts.
Many installation programs offer the ability to execute a script or executeable file, and then wait for it to complete. With these programs you can launch Servicehandler to install and start any service you need, at any time.
See your installation program for documentation on how to execute an external file.
