How Do I Create A Setup Project With A Windows Application and A Windows Service?

I would like to create a Setup Project in Visual Studio 2008 that installs both a .Net Windows application and a Windows Service.

Is this possible or do I need to create two different Setup Projects?

Checkout Wix - it's the standard way to build installers and is very powerful:

The Windows Installer XML (WiX) is a toolset that builds Windows installation packages from XML source code. The toolset supports a command line environment that developers may integrate into their build processes to build MSI and MSM setup packages.
