I should mention that that errors are primarily trivial with the exception of
the following:

I set the name and version information in the Description field of the Package
definition (as well as the version of the Product). This becomes part of the
SummaryInfo.
This is available through the file properties of the final MSI - ie right click

MSI (WiX is the build toolset, not the runtime) doesn't have parsing
support. You need an immediate custom action.

The -setup switch is for pointing to the setup.exe stub that comes with

I gave WiX 3.0.5329.0 a try but ended up with literally thousands of

Really? You removed that option. Was that done in 3.5 or 3.0?
I was able to specify the user that the service ran as, and it installed
correctly. What I was unable to do was to get the package to uninstall when I
did.

That is correct for a minor upgrade. You keep the UpgradeCode and ProductCode
the same, and the PackageCode and Version must change (see the MSI SDK for

Just in case there is some misunderstanding, there is no "from Windows
