Windows Service not showing up in Services

I created a Windows Service and a setup project. When I installed the service using the setup installer it is properly installed on the system.

But I didn't see my service in the Services window. I gave all the right permissions, I tried to delete the setup and recreated the new setup still it didn't work. I tried manually installing using Install Util.exe using the following command

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe  C:\myproject\project1\bin\project1.exe

Still it didn't install properly... My system is Windows7 64 bit and VS2010 Is this because of 64 bit system?

You need to add an installer class to your project. Once you have the installer class added you need to add a serviceInstaller and a serviceProcessInstaller to the installer class. You then use these to give your service a display name, install name, etc. I'm surprised the installutil.exe worked without this stuff already setup.
