Windows Service: Missing 'add installer' link

#1

I'm trying to setup a simple Windows Service that can host a WCF service.
But I'm running into a weird problem just getting the Windows Service setup.
Every example and MSDN help I read says to click the service in the designer
so it has focus. Then right-click and select 'add installer' however the
'add installer' option isn't there for me. I've created brand new vb.net
and c# Windows Service projects and I still have the same problem. I can
add an 'installer' class file as a separate file but I should have the 'add
installer' link option and then it will create the projectInstaller and the
serviceInstaller.

Has anyone seen this on VS 2005 before?

Thanks,

John

Not sure what happened to the 'add installer' link but I was able to just
manually add a 'installer' file and get it working.
