Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall does nothing in WiX 3.5?
In my experience all services are installed in a stopped state - getting them started it usually the problem! That ServiceControl looks fine from a WiX 3.0 point of view, if ServiceControl/@Start is not optional in 3.5 I would say that is a bug.

It looks like I cannot install a service unless I have a ServiceControl element with Start=install associated. In other words, it seems impossible to install a service in a stopped state. Is this not a supported scenario? On WiX 3.5.1623.0, the following snippet does not work because it is missing a Start=install attribute.

Table order in MSI is not guranteed. Order is typically added by using a Sequence column and having the code that reads the table ORDER BY that column.

[WiX-users] Need help diagnosing Microsoft Run Time Merge Module failures

We have no idea why the SxsInstallCA action is failing or any idea on steps to

track it down since this is a Microsoft supplied component.
Does any one have any suggestions on how to find out why this is failing?

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall does nothing in WiX 3.5?
You can add the ServiceInstall element by itself without the ServiceControl.
Add the ServiceInstall in the same component that defines service file. The
service file needs to be the KeyPath. I would recommend not having any
other files in the components, which is good practice anyway. Something
like this should work fine.
Component Id=TheServiceComponent Guid={GUID HERE}
CreateFolder /
File Id=TheServiceExe KeyPath=yes Source=.\thefile.exe /
ServiceInstall Id=TheServiceInstall Name=SomeServiceName
DisplayName=The Service Display Name Start=disabled Type=ownProcess
Account=LocalSystem Interactive=no ErrorControl=normal/
/Component

I found the problem. I had to expand my properties (session.Format(string)) during my immediate CA, so that the deferred CA gets the actual path values, not the path 'tokens'.
