No, it works for .NET (COM interop) as well, and in 2.0 - you need to use the -c switch rather than -s.
Actually, I managed to get a little confused between InstallUtil and RegAsm there, and I'm not sure if your service exposes COM interop interfaces - sorry about that. If it's just a service,
would be looking at something much more difficult. :)

Depending on the version of WiX, you would use either tallow (in 2.0.x) or heat (3.0.x) to generate the registration information. This dumps a load of stuff into the registry table, essentially mimicking what self-registration does but within the MSI transaction (meaning it gets rolled back during
I've seen it said often enough that use of InstallUtil (and self-registering
components in general) in custom actions isn't a good idea. In my google
searches, I have found this quote from Rob to the effect that
