a) Create a console app and in the project options set the type to
'Windows Executable'
 -or-
b) Create a Winforms app and remove the default form and code inside
main as well as references to System.Windows.Forms.

No that is a namespace import.
No. In the project manager tree view right click references and choose
add reference and then choose System.ServiceProcess.

Yes this code is the constructor for your service.

Yes. It probably already existed.

No not really. You would normally create a single subclass of
System.Configuration.Install.Installer and apply the
RunInstaller(true) attribute to it.In the constructor it should create
an instance of the predefined ServicePorcessInstaller, set it's
properties (Account, Password, Username) and call this.Installers.Add
with it. You also create an instance of
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstaller, set its
properties(ServiceName, DisplayName, StartType, ServicesDependedOn)
and again add it using Installers.Add.

Yes you can but I would use one file per class.

Generally your setup would call installutil passing your service's
executable as a parameter. InstallUtil will then search your
executable for the installer subclass and execute it appropriately.
(If you run your code normally it will run the service)

I would guess that .net ready setup creator will have an action for
this.

Run your setup or call InstallUtil directly.

No you shouldn't have one for MySericeProcessInstall. You should have
the AssemblyInfo file and you can choose wether you want to write main
in it's own class/file or include it as part of your service class (if
you only have one service)
