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?

With the designer in focus, right-click, and then click Add Installer. A new class, ProjectInstaller , and two installation components, ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller, are added to your project, and property values for the service are copied to the components.
Press the keys Windows logo+R to open the “Run” dialog. Enter services. msc to open the Window services configuration tool. Configure each new Windows service following the steps of the section above.
Did you create an installer for your service? It is separate from a Setup Project.

You can create an Installer by right-clicking on your service's Design window and selecting Add Installer.
