Deploying a TCP based WCF service, that's hosted in a Windows service

Question

I've finished writing a WCF service that uses TCP. It is meant to run on a Windows 2003 Server, which doesn't have WAS available, so I've written a Windows service to host my WCF service. It works great on my development machine.

Now, how do I get these two services onto the Windows 2003 Server? Do I just copy the WCF service there and that's it? I would think it would probably be best if I put it into some specific location, but where would that be? And then the hosting Windows service, how do I deploy that to the Windows 2003 Server?

Answer 1

You should have a service deployment project that you've used in the Dev area. It will be the same technique.
