Answer 1

Actually you cannot directly create an installer project by adding primary output from a WCF service. You should host the WCF service inside a windows service and add the primary output of the windows service to the installer project.

1. create a WCF.

2. create a windows service and host the WCF inside it (call the WCF from windows service).

3. Create a setup project (installer project).

4. Add the primary output of the windows service to the installer project.
