The error message you receive implies that the service was installed but failed to start. Once getting this error (before canceling the installation or anything else), if you go to Windows Service Manager, can you start the service manually, right there in that minute?
I use Wix to install and start many services with my installation. I've learned that I get errors like these only when there's a real error not related to Wix. I was never able to manually start something Wix couldn't... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham Vickrage Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 8:42 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Problem Starting service on XP I am trying to install and start a service but its coming back with.

I can install / start the service manually but not via wix, has anyone seen this before and do they have sample code? Much appreciated.
