The File that is the Service entrypoint must be the KeyPath for the Component. It doesn't appear that your Component below has any files in it so you're trying to make a Directory the Service entrypoint. I'm surprised the Windows Installer doesn't blow up faster...

Which means : Component or feature is not currently installed. according to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/aa367858.aspx I'm doing something wrong in my wix probably, it looks like this: ... <Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="409c8e05-b542-42db-a616-efbcc7ce9551"> <ServiceInstall Id="MessageQueueListener.exe" DisplayName="MessageQueue Listener Service" Name="MessageQLService" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes"> </ServiceInstall> <ServiceControl Id="MessageQueueListener.exe" Name="MessageQLService" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes"/> <CreateFolder/> </Component> ... <Feature Id="ProductFeature" Title="MessageQueue Listener" ConfigurableDirectory="INSTALLLOCATION" Level="1"> <ComponentGroupRef Id="ComponentGroup1"/> <ComponentRef Id="ProductComponent" /> </Feature> ... What is wrong? I can't see it. Why isn't the service installed.
