InstallShield Visual Studio does not install Service

I have a service project in .NET using C #. Then I used InstallShield 2012 in Visual Studio to create an MSI that should install my service, however, when I start MSI, the service does not appear in the Services window.

I created a service by creating a component, additional settings → created a new service. Then they added the whole / bin / debug of my C # project (since I was not sure that only .exe would be enough)

However, I'm not sure how to tell InstallShield to go ahead and actually install my service. I do not want users to do this manually through the command line using the InstallUtil tool.

Can I install InstallShield to install the service?

You need to go to the properties of the main output of your service, and then the COM and .NET tab and put a mark in the "Installer Class" field.
