How to deploy WCF services using INNO setup?

Question

Actually i created MSI package for WCF service using Advance Installer. Now i want to create MSI or exe package for WCF service Using *INNO SETUP* I am using Inno Script Studio 5.5.3. I am beginner in Inno setup, now only i installed the Inno setup application,So i don't aware of anything. I am having dll which is created with the help of WCF service.Then I created window service application with reference of dll, then created exe package with service application.

How can i create MSI or exe package using INNO setup. It is possible to create setup with the help of WCF service dll alone. Else if i need to use exe of windows service application, to create msi or exe package for INNO Setup .How it is possible? Please give me some sample application (or) steps to proceed for INNO setup..

If you'd follow this post, the InnoSetup script for installing such service might look like this (just copy and paste it into the InnoSetup code editor and save it somewhere on your harddrive):

[Setup]
AppName=App Name
AppVersion=1.5
DefaultDirName={pf}\Folder Name

[Files]
Source: "C:\SomeFolder\YourService.exe"; DestDir: "{app}"

[Run]
Filename: "{app}\YourService.exe"; Parameters: "--install"

[UninstallRun]
Filename: "{app}\YourService.exe"; Parameters: "--uninstall"
