How do you go about executing a command line function from code?

Specifically I want to write a class that installs (and uninstalls) a
window's service using the InstallUtil utility.
But I want to automate the process.

Thanks everyone.

Hello Phil,

Look at System.Diagnostics.Process [1]. You'll probably be most interested
in Process.Start.
