Well there are certain ways to add a service to your windows registered services. 1) You can use the InstallUtil tool that comes with the .Net Framework;Go to the Visual Studio Command prompt and there type InstallUtil Path-to-Assembly-to-be-installed-as-service This is a manual procedure. 2) Create a new setup project using the Visual Studio Setup Wizard and then under the "File System Editor" add the output (the assembly that you want to install as service", after this go to "Custom Actions Editor", you will see four folders there, 1- Install, 2- Commit, 3- Rollback and 4- Uninstall, right click on Install and click on "Add Custom Action" from the resulting menu, under the result dialog, locate the application folder and locate the assembly of the service that you just added in Application Folder, double click on this assembly. Now when you run the setup project, the service will be added to your windows services if everything goes well. For both the procedures, you would need to go to windows services console and start the service manually.

Well I also looked a sample on Code Project for this which calls the InstallUtil utility through code, I guess if you search this site for Dynamic Windows Service Installer, you will come across that.... anyway the code is as:
using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Net; using System.IO; namespace ServiceInstaller { /// /// /// public enum WindowsServiceAccountType { LocalService, NetworkService, LocalSystem, User } /// /// /// public class WindowsServiceInstallInfo { #region "FIELDS" private System.String _windowsServiceName; private System.String _wsDescription; private readonly string _windowsServicePath; private readonly string _windowsServiceAssemblyName; private WindowsServiceAccountType _wsAccountType; private readonly string _wsAccountUserName; private readonly string _wsAccountPassword; #endregion #region "CONSTRUCTOR" /// /// /// /// Path to folder where Windows Service binary is located. /// Windows Service Assembly Name. /// Windows Service Account Type.(not user type) public WindowsServiceInstallInfo(string windowsServicePath, string windowsServiceAssemblyName, WindowsServiceAccountType wsAccountType) : this("", windowsServicePath, windowsServiceAssemblyName, wsAccountType) { } /// /// /// /// Name of the windows service. /// Path to folder where windows service assembly stored. /// windows service assembly name. /// Windows service account type (not user type) public WindowsServiceInstallInfo(string windowsServiceName, string windowsServicePath, string windowsServiceAssemblyName, WindowsServiceAccountType wsAccountType) : this(windowsServiceName, "", windowsServicePath, windowsServiceAssemblyName, wsAccountType) { } /// /// /// /// Name of windows service. -
