I've written a windows service that uses a project setup (msi) app for installation. I'd like to instrument it using the Enterprise Instrumentation Framework but all of the documentation I've found requires an EIF app to be registered using the InstallUtil.exe program. Can someone tell me if it's possible to have the project setup app do the EIF registration?

I don't know anything about the EIF stuff, but the mechanism that
InstallUtil uses is virtually the same as using an Installer class. When the
Service is installed, InstallUtilLib.dll is used internally to call the
Installer class, which is what InstallUtil.exe does.
