I don't think there's a difference between installing a .NET service vs
. a "regular" service so, ServiceInstall doesn't need to detect
anything. Can you install your service with SC CREATE?
The InstallUtil.exe doesn't know a service from a hole in the ground.
All it does is look for classes that have the RunInstaller attribute and
it calls the right methods (depending on the command line switches).
Was your service already installed the first time that you tried to
install it via WiX? I'm not sure what Windows Installer does if a
service is already installed when it thinks it's installing for the
first time.

How does ServiceInstall detect that you're installing a .net service as
opposed to a "regular" service?
I'm experiencing difficulties installing a .net service using
ServiceInstall. The service is there but doesn't seem to be registering
properly.
How does ServiceInstall work compared to the .net utility
InstallUtil.exe?

ServiceInstall should just work.

Hi Wix people
I am having problems installing a windows service written in .NET. I am
using wix 3.0.2128.0.
I have successfully managed to install services written in unmanaged C++
using the ServiceInstall tag, but this doesn't seem to work for my .NET
component.
Do I have to use the method which is mentioned here:
http://installneo.blogspot.com/2004/09/installing-windows-services-creat
ed.html
? ... or should the ServiceInstall tag work?
Dave
