I encountered the same issue with trying to open a installer package sent to me via another developer, apparently I needed to install the appropriate version of (in Visual Studio):

Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects

To open this type of project. Once I did that I was able to open this project type.

You can still use Windows Service project. It is installer that is not supported by VS11. Accoring to Visual Studio team, old VS Install and Deploy projects (*.vdproj) will not be supported in any future releases starting with VS11. Migrate to WIX.
