Well just create a simple windows service and deploy it.
Have a look at these articles:
Creating a Basic Windows Service in C#[^]
Creating a Windows Service with C#[^]
Creating a Windows Service in C#[^]

If needed more, just google for it. Read about them and you should be able to do it.

If all that the service does is wake up once a day, do something and then go back to sleep for another day then it might be better off as a normal application that's scheduled to run with the Windows Task Scheduler.

If you want to use a service then you can schedule callbacks to be fired at a periodic rate using at timer[^].
