Re: [WiX-users] Problem installing merge modules on server 2008 R2
Starting with Vista the WinSxS runtime assemblies aren't committed until InstallFinalize. This meant my service couldn't be started as part of the StartServices action. I had to write a commit custom action to start the service for me. It's possible that this is the issue you're running into, and it just happens to work on Windows 7 because the runtime you need is already there. Don't start the service during the installation, and see if you can start it from the Services panel afterwards.
