Re: [WiX-users] Error 1920. Service 'SomeService' failed to start
I’ve had success tracking down 1920 service-start errors by opening the exe in
the dependency walker right after the error message is thrown
(http://www.dependencywalker.com/). It’s not a perfectly reliable tool, but it
will let you know if your binary is missing any static dependencies that would
cause it to fail to start up.

[WiX-users] Error 1920. Service 'SomeService' failed to start
Hi, I have created an installer that is supposed to be get install and start the service. The installer does install in most machines , but during installation in one of customers, it gave "Error 1920. Service 'SomeService'failed to start" error. The user has installed the software as an administrator, but still is getting the same error. The detailed error is "MSI (s) (6C:18) [14:07:48:771]: Product: SomeProduct-- Error 1920. Service 'SomeService' (SomeService) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I have also implemented Custom action in the installer using C# that is supposed to get the parameter passed to installer and create some config file. I have following wix file: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension";> NOT Installed Installed # The dependency of my program is .Net4.0, VS2010 Redistributable, VS2008 Redistributable. The Customer has installed all of these and run the file as adminstrator as: msiexec /i myInstaller.msi /l*v out.txt PARAMETER="VALUE" ... I looked into other website, they gave information regarding GAC. I don't know about them. If that is what is causing the problem, please do point me in right direction.
