Is there an up to date WiX Roadmap that shows how the development /

Take a look at the ServiceDependency element (child of ServiceInstall).
Note: I think there is a bug in Windows Installer (not WiX) that mean
the ServiceControl table only reads the first row so it is not possible
to control more than one service in an MSI. I think there is some
service control
If you wanted to make it simpler you could use ROOTDIR which is the
drive with the most free space.

I don't think this is correct, as of WiX version 3.0.5027.0 the default
is for FindRelatedProducts to run before LaunchConditions.

have checked the guid and I am fairly sure it is correct (I ran dark
on the merge module and read the Package/@Id and the relevant File/@Id).
Can anyone tell me if this should work? If it should can you suggest how
to make it work?
Thanks

What you are looking for is the Class, ProgId and Interface
elements.

It is even easier than that, just add this to your install:
WixVariable Id=WixUIBannerBmp Value=mybannrbmp.bmp /
WixVariable Id=WixUIDialogBmp Value=mydlgbmp.bmp /

A couple of things:
1. Windows Installer only supports 3 part version numbers. So 1.0.0.7 = 1.0.0.8.
2. I don't think your upgrade code is correct. For a basic major upgrade script
see here:

Just in case anyone else gets caught by this there is an exception. If
you install a .net service with a 32 bit msi it will be marked as 32
bit and runs as 32 bit even though it is anycpu.

I thought this property is used to enforce the minimum version of
Windows Installer required to run the MSI.
Yes that is correct.
The number is calculated as major * 100 + minor. So 2.0 is 200, 3.0 is
300, 4.5 is 405 and 5.0 is 500.

You can't set the Property element to a formatted value
([APPLICATIONFOLDER] in your case) you either need another custom action
to set it or I think you can use SetProperty if you arrange for your
CustomAction/@Id value to match.

Is you service dependent on any components in the GAC? If it is, then
Windows Installer cannot start it because it tries to start the service
before it has registered the components in the GAC. The only way round
this I know is to use a custom action to start the service (or don't use
the GAC).
