I'm trying to convert an existing InstallShield installer + user-run Batch file to a single WiX installer.
I've basically taken SharpDevelop's WiX integration tool, and added a bunch of files, and a service to the default project. The service part that I added is straight out of the tutorial here: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson6.php#6.4, but I end up with the error in the subject line when I go to install it. Can anyone provide any insight? I am an Administrator on an XP SP2 machine. I've not written any registry keys or done anything else. <Directory Id="SystemFilesFolder" Name="Service"> <Component Id='ServiceExeComponent' Guid="VALIDGUID-HERE-40D6-8816-AD0E7092904E" SharedDllRefCount='no' KeyPath='no' NeverOverwrite='no' Permanent='no' Win64='no' Location="either"> <File Id='ServiceExeFile' Name="FOOBA_1.EXE" LongName='FoobarService.exe' DiskId="1" Source="C:\Location\Of\File\On\Disk\FoobarService.exe" ReadOnly='no' Vital='yes' Hidden='no' System='no' Checksum='no' /> <ServiceInstall Id='MyServiceInstall' DisplayName='Foobar' Name='MyServiceExeName' Description="This is a test!" Interactive="no" ErrorControl="critical" Start='auto' Type="ownProcess" Vital='yes' /> <ServiceControl Id='MyServiceControl' Name='MyServiceExeName' Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall' /> </Component> </Directory> Here is the batch file that we used to install the service -- which works like a charm: @ECHO OFF FOOBARSERVICE /INSTALL ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
