Windows Service and Windows Store

I’m working on a Windows Desktop application composed of a Windows service and a separate UI. I’m wondering if it would be possible to distribute this application though the Windows Store ? (Will it be possible to install the windows service ?) Or should I use something else for background heavy processing ?
