Couple of months ago I stumbed across an approach for debugging windows services on MSDN (http://www.sysknowlogy.com/2006/01/28/Better+Way+For+Debugging+Windows+Services.aspx)

 

With Visual Studio 2005 you can use the vsjitdebugger.exe and managed code.  Here is the registry entry.

 

 

Replace ServiceHost.exe in the reg entry with the name of your executable.  You no longer have to edit the environment path variable.
