Windows Service Setup Project
Did you create an installer for your service? It is separate from a Setup Project.
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.serviceprocess.serviceinstaller.aspx
You can create an Installer by right-clicking on your service's Design window and selecting Add Installer.

I’m trying to create a set-up project for a windows service. I’ve followed this tutorial and many others like it but, after installing my service, I still can’t see the service. I’ve added the primary output of the service to the application directory and created a custom action to include this output on Install, Commit, Rollback and Uninstall.
It claims that it installs correctly.
Should this work? Is there anything else that I can try to get this to install?
