Does your service depend on MSVC DLLs that you are installing, or just the custom action exe that starts the service?
If your service does not depend on anything installed in the GAC or winsxs you could just the ServiceControl table instead. Otherwise static linking to the dlls will work, or schedule the custom action after InstallFinalize. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371634(VS.85).aspx I doubt UAC has anything to do with this. /Johan On Feb 6, 2008 12:57 PM, Sneha Gharpure <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks for the reply. > > The problem is that the exe that starts the service is running as a custom > action.
