Okay, this has been driving me crazy.

It looks like I cannot install a service unless I have a ServiceControl element 
with Start="install" associated. In other words, it seems impossible to install 
a service in a stopped state. Is this not a supported scenario? On WiX 
3.5.1623.0, the following snippet does not work because it is missing a 
Start="install" attribute.

        <Component Id="$(var.ProjectName)ServiceInstaller" 
Guid="C5A1BE3B-C831-4220-A184-81797B2C9F48">
          <CreateFolder />
          <ServiceInstall Id="$(var.ProjectName)ServiceInstall" 
Name="$(var.ProjectName) " DisplayName="$(var.ProjectName)" Type="ownProcess" 
Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Description="..." Account="NT 
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" Vital="yes" />
          <ServiceControl Id="$(var.ProjectName)ServiceControl" 
Name="$(var.ProjectName) " Stop="both" Wait="yes" Remove="uninstall" />
        </Component>

Is there a recommend way to install a service in a stopped state? Should I open 
a bug? 

Thanks,
Navid

That's the log from the script generation phase; check later in the log for the 
execution phase.

Not necessary.
