Create installer for VisualAssertion Dashboard

[cezarypiatek]

It could be convenient to install Dashboard application https://github.com/cezarypiatek/Tellurium/tree/master/Src/Dashboard using dedicated installer instead of manually executing the following steps:

1. Extract Dashboard files into installation directory
2. Make modification to configuration files:
   • set port (appsettings.json)
   • set connection string to database (app.config)
3. Register app as windows service

Currently this app is released as zip file. I think about replacing it (or add as and alternative) with installer build with WIX http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/

Registering Dashboard application as a windows service is already implemented with Topshelf .
https://github.com/cezarypiatek/Tellurium/blob/master/Src/Dashboard/Program.cs

TelluriumDashboard.exe install -servicename "TelluriumDashboard"
TelluriumDashboard.exe start

@cezarypiatek Any preference for the installer engine? I'm not sure what technologies for that are currently hot :)
I personally hate WiX

Hi @lukasz-pekala
I think it should be rather packed up as a docker container right now.
