Chapter 11. Deployment
Unlike a Web service, a Windows service application is installed in a directory on the file system of the target computer. Therefore, you use a Setup Project template rather than a Web Setup Project template to deploy a Windows service.
In addition, you need to register a Windows service with the Windows Service Control Manager. The .NET Framework provides custom installation components to take care of this. These components can be installed by configuring them as a custom action in the Custom Actions Editor of the setup projects.
