ServiceInstall (e.g. SCM registration) works fine AFAICT and, as I suspected,
does the same as the 'My-Svc.exe /install' command.
If I disable (comment out) the custom "start service" action, I can start the
service up normally with elevated privileges after the install completes. So
now its
I've tried that. It doesn't work because the VC runtimes contained in the
merge modules don't get commited to the GAC until after StartServices and
possibly InstallFinalize IIUC.

If you use the pattern that Castro provided you may have an issue with your
service. For example if you service is creating an event log entry, you may
fail if the SERVICEACCOUNT is not authorized to create an entry.
Check the event log for messages, I have on occasion specified an invalid

I would give this a try first, rather than trying to start the service manually

Does anyone happen to know where I could pick up a WiX dialog for soliciting
the Account and Password values used to install a Windows Service?
I figure this MUST be a pretty common thing to do (allow the user to specify
the account/password the service is to run under) in an installer that inst
After a lot more investigation, I've came to the same conclusion: the service
can't be used at all until after InstallFinalize since it is linked to a
specific VC runtime version using the _BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION macro
when it is built.
Also, I now believe 'My-Svc.exe /install' and the

I see that you are scheduling your RunMySvcInstall custom action after

So I've added custom actions and conditions to run my service with /install and

Now I want to install some data files that go with the service, under the
