Microsoft has never documented how the shared service
hosting through SvcHost.exe works, so it's pretty much only MS who can create
such a service. The Type can be set to "shareProcess", but I think this is still
meant for installing your own EXE which hosts multiple services, rather than a
DLL which uses SvcHost.exe. Windows Installer uses the KeyPath of the component
as the ImagePath for the service, as you've discovered.
Your best bet may be to find out from the Windows Installer
team how you're meant to do this with the ServiceInstall table. It may not be
possible.

MSI. The typical WIX entry for a service would look something
like: <Component Id='MyDemoComponents'
Guid='11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'> <File Id="MyServiceDll"
Name='MySvcDll.dll' LongName='MyService.dll' DiskId='1'
src='' Vital='yes'/> <ServiceInstall
Id="MyServiceInstall"
Name="MyService"
DisplayName="My Service Name"
Description="My Service Description"
Type="ownProcess"
Interactive="no"
Start="auto"
Vital="yes"
ErrorControl="normal"> </ServiceInstall> </Component> However, this produces an ImagePath service entry that
references MyService.Dll, whereas I need to specify something like
“%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k MySvcHostGroup”. Cheers, -Byron. |
