SOme times when I try manually, it is starting, some times not.
I want per-machine installation
The above code is working fine in XP, but failing in Vista
Any Ideas???

Re: [WiX-users] Service @vista
I think it is highly unlikely that the problem is from the MSI/WiX and more
to do with an environment issue such as user permissions or missing
libraries (different versions of Vista will have different base software and
this will affect the libraries shipped with the system). It looks like your
service is trying to start and falling over immediately, check the event
logs.
Also, I imagine that virtual machine images are protected against corruption
so I would not suspect a problem with that.
If I was troubleshooting this I would;
1) Run sysinternals process monitor and look for any file access failures.
2) Set up logging and log all of the startup processes to a file or the
event log (this might also fail due to security).
3) Comment out as much code as possible.
4) Clean all event logs and try again. There is probably an error in there
somewhere.
Your root cause is either;
a) Missing DLL or other resource.
b) Not enough permission.

Hi,
Thanks for response
Because the service has dependencies, I created one merge module.msi(with
all x86 including debug mergemodules) and installed. After that I installed
my installer. This time installation is successfully, But service is not
started after reboot automatically(service start type is auto). But when I
start service manually, service is started.
I am testing this in Virtual Images. The above case is working for vista
ultimate virtual image. But for Vista Enterprise and Business virtual images
it is not working.
So In vista ultimate it is working means. there is no problem with service
and component.
Can you tell me, what is the wrong here. Is it the problem with virtual
image or service?
Why service is not started automatically after reboot, even service type is
"auto"
Why it is started when I try to start manually from services.msc after
installation.
Thanks in advance,

Re: [WiX-users] Service @vista
Does the event manager tell you anything? After you've started the service
manually from the
services panel, do future attempts to install it succeed (after you've
uninstalled it, obviously).

Because the service has dependencies, I created one merge module.msi(with

Can you tell me, what is the wrong here. Is it the problem with virtual

Why service is not started automatically after reboot, even service type is

Why it is started when I try to start manually from services.msc after

It sounds like your service just doesn't work under Vista. Can you run it as a normal exe? Have you tried putting any logging in your service to see how far it gets?
