Implementing Windows Service app in Azure

I'm a very beginner in Windows Apps. I created a Windows Service app to send mail automatically at a specific time daily. Its taking some configuration values from app.config file. Also there is a web reference too in the service application. Then I installed the app using InstallUtil /i %myapppath%\windowsservicevb.exe

It worked fine. But with less knowledge in this Windows service application I've no idea how to install that in Azure. Do I just need the exe file or I need to copy the app.config file also into the same directory in Azure?

You need to migrate your windows service on to a worker role in azure if you are going for azure PaaS. example here - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mwasham/archive/2011/03/30/migrating-a-windows-service-to-windows-azure.aspx

Although if you are on an azure - IaaS VM then it is going to be the same as in the case of a windows machine locally.
