Re: [WiX-users] Windows service event source
So I have that in there, but the event items still show up as Service1 in the event log.

Re: [WiX-users] Windows service event source
You know what, I figured it out. That source doesn't have to do with installer at all. I just had to set the service name in code in the ServiceBase class for it to display correctly.

Re: [WiX-users] Windows service event source
The problem I ran into when the installer didn't create the event source was a permission one. If your service has the adequate permissions, the service class can create the eventlog, however, most of my services run at a considerable lower privilege, and so I have to rely on the installer to create it.
