1. I don't think you need 2 servicecontrol tags. You can combine the two you
have and use one (I haven't tried two so I don't know if that's an issue).
2. Make sure that the person installing has admin rights on your install server.
3. if UAC is enabled, disable it (only on vista/server 2008)
4.
Also check out XmlConfig as I've been told it is more robust if all you're
doing is changing XML values in XML files.
Example:
util:XmlConfig Id=settings2 Action=create
File=[#file3] Sequence=2 ElementPath=/configuration/appSettings/[EMAIL
