Re: [WiX-users] Self Hosted WCF Service Install
If you are still looking for an answer to this, I faced a similar situation a few months ago - the issue could be that the default working dir for the NT service is something like windows\system32. You would need to set it right in the code, so that the service executable can find the app.config in the executables directory. -Vivek -Original Message- From: Gmail [mailto:poole.ja...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 5:55 PM To: chr...@deploymentengineering.com Cc: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Self Hosted WCF Service Install
I'd have to spend some time on this to make sure I'm not wrong, but I thought I recalled putting together a windows service that exposed a WCF webservice and that that when I did the endpoint (ABC's) was stored in the exe's app.config. Again, I could be wrong as this isn't something I do every day. For profiling, I meant debugging the code to see exactly why it's throwing an exception. Maybe I can find some free time later to look at this but for now it's christmas tree lights and egg nog. --- On Sun, 11/22/09, james poole wrote: > From: james poole > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Self Hosted WCF Service Install > To: chr...@deploymentengineering.com, "General discussion for Windows > Installer XML toolset." > Date: Sunday, November 22, 2009, 4:12 PM > So I tried having the App.config get > installed to the same directory, but no luck.

Re: [WiX-users] Self Hosted WCF Service Install
So I tried having the App.config get installed to the same directory, but no luck. Also, when using installutil.exe, you don't have to carry around the app.config file. Strange. Can you point me in the right direction for profiling? Not exactly sure what you mean.

Re: [WiX-users] Self Hosted WCF Service Install
InstallUtil truely is evil and the WiX way of doing things should work just fine. I've installed dozens on .NET services this way. The error message about no endpoints makes me wonder if your app.config is getting installed. I'd do some profiling of the app to see whats going on.

[WiX-users] Self Hosted WCF Service Install
So I'm fairly new to WIX and I'm running into a problem that seems pervasive on the web. Basically, I have a .NET self-hosted WCF service inside of a windows service. If I follow Msft's guidelines and add a installer class to the Windows Service project, then run installutil.exe, everything works great. If I follow the WIX guideline to use the way to install the service, it fails to start up due to some sort of configuration issues. (Says zero endpoints were configured). What is going on when I run installutil.exe that doesn't happen when I install the service through WIX using ? Has anyone come across this before?
