i was just about to finish up my project and install it as a windows service. I have the installer, etc. – everything i need. When i went to choose Application Type, Windows service does not appear as an option.

Here is the kicker. When I dev in VB.NET, i have that option. The project mentioned above is in c#.

Also, if i try to add a new project, i cannot select windows service as a project type. From within the project i can add a windows service and an installer class.

Any ideas or am i just forgetting something stupid?

  1. You need an installer class in your project, then you need a Setup project which will incorporate the output of the project’s build.
