ClickOnce was not designed for installing Windows Services. Consider using regular installer technologies – Micky
i knew, i am adding window service just like external exe – Mashhad Saleem
ClickOnce is for deploying WinForms and WPF-style apps on a per-user basis. Apps are installed to C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\xxx\xxx – Micky

You can add that exe in your current solution using Add->Add Existing Files (All files).

If that exe still not produce in ClickOnce setup, then check properties of that added exe by pressing F4 key .

Hope this answer helpful.
