'Creating an installer for a windows service on Visual Studio 2022
typically I don't work with VS and C#, but my company requires it for this project. So kinda new on this stuff.
I got some code from a previous developer, which is just a .net service doing some stuff. Som adjustment had been done in the code my me, not a problem at this point.
But here comes the trick: I need to create an installer, .exe or .msi file, which installs the service on the windows machine where it get's executed. I tried so much, googled my ass off but nothing did the work for me.
Is there anyone that can help and explain, step for step, what I need to do in VS?
Very much thanks in advance!

I highly recommend the WiX Toolset to create an MSI for installing a Windows service. This tutorial takes you through the process from end-to-end, including setting up your development environment for WiX. You can see their service install documentation for a high-level overview. Also, this StackOverflow question is an excellent resource.
If you run into issues, I'm happy to help address them.
