You aren't installing the service so the ServiceInstall element can't be used in this case. The fact that the service is not yours and is disabled, in my mind, would require a custom action to enable it. Just a hunch.

How can I start the service in my installation? Is it possible with the ServiceInstall/ServiceControl - tags? I tried this, but I got an error... <Component Id="SERV_NetTcpPortSharingService" Guid="{138CAB80-7529-45aa-9CA5-283397A3FCDF}"> <ServiceInstall Id="ServInst_NetTcpPortSharingService" Name="NetTcpPortSharing" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" ErrorControl="normal"/> <ServiceControl Id="ServCont_NetTcpPortSharingService" Name="NetTcpPortSharing" Start="both" Wait="yes" Stop="uninstall"/> </Component> Thank's, Chris -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-start-an-existing-service-tp2574657p2574657. html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
