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
