What is the best way to install a Windows C # service that does not require running installutil manually?

Question

I would like to pack a C # Windows service project so that it can be easily installed by anyone without using the installutil command-line utility? Is there an easy way to set up a Visual Studio installation project so that it is similar to how winforms applications are installed?
