You can still use Windows Service project. It is installer that is not supported by VS11. Accoring to Visual Studio team, old VS Install and Deploy projects (*.vdproj) will not be supported in any future releases starting with VS11. Migrate to WIX.

I encountered the same issue with trying to open a installer package sent to me via another developer, apparently I needed to install the appropriate version of (in Visual Studio):

Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects

To open this type of project. Once I did that I was able to open this project type.
