Deploy WCF Webservice with WiX Toolset - Steps - asp.net

Question

I am building a WCF service project and now i want to add a Wix based setup project also into the solution (VS.NET 2013). I am using the Wix toolset for the first time. I am using the latest version of Wix toolset Ver 3.10.
Please help me out in laying down the steps required in filling up the .wxs file.
Here is the xml content from ImportService.wxs:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi">
<Product Id="*" Name="$(var.outputName)" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="Client" UpgradeCode="80d51001-e699-47b8-9221-fc6633fddf15">
<Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" Platform="x64" />
<MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of Import Service is already installed." />
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="Cab1.cab" EmbedCab="yes"/>
<MediaTemplate />
<Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="$(var.outputName)" Level="1">
<ComponentGroupRef Id="ProductComponents" />
</Feature>
</Product>
<Fragment>
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder">
<Directory Id="Client" Name="Client" >
<Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="$(var.outputName)" />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Fragment>
<Fragment>
<ComponentGroup Id="ProductComponents" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
<!--<Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="93A6A063-F63D-455A-BD63-A21D32D15CE5" Win64="yes">
</Component>-->
</ComponentGroup>
</Fragment>
Please suggest how to add the WCF .svc & other files into the ComponentGroup area in the wix file.

You can publich service using IIS.
<!-- Use DISM to setup IIS (see also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2736284) -->
<!-- Build path to dism.exe (full path is important, just calling dism.exe without path will fail) -->
<CustomAction Id="InstallIISSetProperty" Property="InstallIIS" Execute="immediate"
Value=""[System64Folder]dism.exe" /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:IIS-WebServerRole /FeatureName:IIS-ASPNET45 /FeatureName:IIS-ManagementConsole /FeatureName:IIS-ISAPIFilter /FeatureName:IIS-NetFxExtensibility45 /FeatureName:NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45" />
<!-- Call dism.exe quietly (without showing command prompt).
(see also http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/customactions/qtexec.html) -->
<CustomAction Id="InstallIIS" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec64"
Execute="deferred" HideTarget="no" Return="ignore" Impersonate="no"/>
...
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="InstallIISSetProperty" After="CostFinalize">
<![CDATA[NOT Installed]]>
</Custom>
<Custom Action="InstallIIS" Before="WriteRegistryValues">
<![CDATA[NOT Installed]]>
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
