VS 2012 InstallShield无法将我的服务安装到计算机上

Question

I developed a service and I wanna make installer which will install to windows 8. I used InstallShield and I created a setup.exe for this(I included primary outputs and Service.exe). So when I run setup, I can't see my service on my services. It doesn't install my service to my system. So how can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

I had similar issues when moving from visual studio 2010. 2012 proved difficult when trying to create an installer for services. Try the following, it worked for me.
