Windows Service Question

Question

I have 3 windows service questions

• Can WS run in the background? Is it possible to do some work every 2 minutes? (if so, can I get help?)

• How to install WS in an easy way? (not with Installutil.exe .......)

• How can I run a .exe file from a windows service?

I tried this way:

System.Diagnostics.Process G = new Process();
    G.StartInfo.FileName = @"d:\demo.exe";
    G.Start();

but it didn’t work.
