Hi,

 

I was hoping someone could help me, firstly I'm using Wix 2.

 

I have some merge modules that I have created, and what I'm trying to do is 
create a service in the msi.

 

I'm using the following code:

 

            <Component Id="mtmCoreServiceSettings" Guid="@NEWGUID@" DiskId="1"> 
                               

                <ServiceInstall 
Id="pywin32instF218.900F1E9E_3D32_4108_BF7E_A4EDF75831BC" Name="MTMAgent" 
DisplayName="MTM Agent" 

                                Description="The MTM Agent collects information 
about the host and OSS software it is monitoring"

                                Type="ownProcess" Interactive="yes" 
Start="auto" Vital="yes" ErrorControl="normal"/>

                <ServiceControl 
Id="pywin32instF218.900F1E9E_3D32_4108_BF7E_A4EDF75831BC" Name="MTMAgent" 
Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes"/> 

                

                <Registry Id="mtmService0" Root="HKLM" 
Key="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application\MTM Agent\" 
Name="EventMessageFile" Type="expandable" 
Value="[TARGETDIR]\python25\Lib\site-packages\win32\win32evtlog.pyd" />

                <Registry Id="mtmService1" Root="HKLM" 
Key="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application\MTM Agent\" 
Name="TypesSupported" Type="integer" Value="7" />

                <Registry Id="mtmService2" Action="removeKeyOnUninstall" 
Root="HKLM" Key="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Eventlog\Application\MTM 
Agent\"/>                

                

            </Component>

 

 

The problem I'm having is the executable is stored within a merge module, the 
example I ran though the ID of the serviceinstall tag must be the same as the 
ID as the ID of the executable.  Any how the msi compiles fine, and looking at 
the msi though Orca it looks fine, however the msi doesn't install the service 
or give any errors?

 

Does anyone have ideas?

 

Thanks for any help in advance

 

Mark
