Re: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?
I'm installing a service as part of my install using Wix 3. Here's the (slightly modified) code I use: Hope it helps.

Re: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?
Microsoft has never documented how the shared service hosting through SvcHost.exe works, so it's pretty much only MS who can create such a service. The Type can be set to "shareProcess", but I think this is still meant for installing your own EXE which hosts multiple services, rather than a DLL which uses SvcHost.exe. Windows Installer uses the KeyPath of the component as the ImagePath for the service, as you've discovered. Your best bet may be to find out from the Windows Installer team how you're meant to do this with the ServiceInstall table. It may not be possible. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Byron ChanguionSent: 07 November 2006 23:25To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?
