AFAIK, the Windows Installer doesn't support creating services like that.

Subject: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?
Hi,
I have a Win32 service that should be installed with my 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='$(env.MySourceDir)\MyService.dll' 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.
