I'm creating a WIX setup for a .net c# solution that has a project which
creates a single EXE for two services and would like to know if it's
possible to install the services using this single EXE through WIX.
I have an MSI that was already created for this solution so I decompiled it
using dark
Other installers won't use the same CustomAction to install the service. I
know the ones emitted by the VS deployments use InstallUtil to self
register. You'll need to kind of translate the decompiled .wxs into Wix
speak.
And I wouldn't see why you'd need two different files for the deployment

Translating was what I was hoping to do, but I'm new to WIX (and
InstallUtil is a DLL that uses the installer classes compiled into your
managed service. So, none of the service deployment information is going to
be in the file generated by dark. You will have to look up the
ServiceInstall element, and enter the same information you have in the self
That was my initial thought as well. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work.
As you said, it compiles fine, but I get an error that the service wasn't
installed correctly when running the install.
