I currently have a VS Solution with 2 projects: a WPF application and a Windows Service.
Now, I have managed to get ClickOnce working in installing my WPF application, but I also want a Windows Service to be installed (the one in the project) during this installation.
I have found ways how to programmatically start a windows service with C# code, but is there any way to incorporate this in my ClickOnce installation (because I need ClickOnce's benefit of automatic updates and such)?

I don't think you can deploy a windows service via ClickOnce in a normal fashion.
