This:
1. Raising the elevation level of the installer exe (marked it as requireAdministrator)
2. Raising the elevation level of actual serivce (marked it as requireAdministrator)

Is going to piss off Vista in a big way. You need to make your service run in user mode. We need to get out of the habit of thinking that our programs need to run on an admin or system account. I was fairly impressed by this take on the issue:

With a service, maybe this doesn't have as much weight, but it's something to think about. I've completely changed my company's software because of this. Our software was pissing off Vista in a big way, but some small changes made it so the installer runs with no UAC warnings, and the program runs and self-updates with only one prompt to the user - "do you want to update now or later" - no annoying UAC pop-ups happen. I am using an MSI installer and a Clickonce installer. The users have the choice of choosing either download, whichever one works better for them, and after the first install, it updates itself.
