C# windows 服务安装与桌面应用程序

Question

I have a wpf desktop application (ERP) system

Application is using setup and deployment to create the .exe file

Now, i want to create a window service for my application to do some background check ups , synchronizations with my database etc.

I know how to create a service in.net and how manually to install it following the examples online.

My question is how i can install (or include let's say) this service within my .exe setup.

I don't want the user to be responsible to install the service.

Neither me to login every time someone pc to install the service

Not sure if i misunderstood the purpose of service but i found nothing online related to my question.

You can use Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects and include your service/main project at the same time
