Windows Service Installation With Visual Studio 2008

I have a Windows service that I wrote with Visual Studio 2008, and I would
like to create a deployment file for my client.

There used to be an option "Add Installer" in the properties window when I
created the service, which apparently has been moved or removed. I looked
for new instructions to install services with VS 2008, but I don't see them
on the web.

Can anyone point me to the right place to be able to accomplish this? I
tried the installer class, but I don't see how to get that to install my
service as a service.

In case it matters, our client is still using the .NET 2.0 framework, so
that's what I'm developing with.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

Hi, I created a windows service with Visual Studio 2008 C++ Express Edition (dotnet 3.0). The service is running fine. I can start and stop it and is working. But I can only install it by installing a dummy service and then modify the call for the service in the registry. This is not an elegant way of installing it :-(
