How to convert an application to a service and then install it to run when the computer boots up (before a user logs on) ?

Hi:

How can I convert an application written in VS2005 to a service and then
install it into Windows such that it will run when the computer is booted
(before a user logs on) ?

I recall doing this about a year ago, I remember seeing the screens shown
here:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadF...ceAccount.aspx,
especially the "Custom actions." I had to add something to each one of
them, not sure if it was Primary output or not, but I can not figure out how
to get to these screens!

I've right clicked everywhere I can think to right click and "Installer"
never appears on my context menu under "Add"....
