Something doesn't sound right here. Both of those registry values are being handled by the serviceinst...@displayname and serviceinst...@account attributes. Have you tested your updated installer on a clean VM? I have a hunch that your missing another variable and that this wasn't your fix.

I really like your techniques :) I solved this problem by following way. I figured out the differences in registry after installing service manually. I found following entries <RegistryValue Root="HKLM" Key="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CnvRemoteService" Name="DisplayName" Value="CnvRemoteService" Type="string" Action="write" /> <RegistryValue Root="HKLM" Key="SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\CnvRemoteService" Name="ObjectName" Value="LocalSystem" Type="string" Action="write" /> I added these entries in my wix file followed by <ServiceInstall Name="CnvRemoteService" DisplayName="CnvRemoteService" Account="LocalSystem" Type ="ownProcess" Start ="auto" Id ="RemoteServiceID" ErrorControl="normal" > <util:PermissionEx User="Everyone" GenericAll="yes" ServiceChangeConfig="yes" ServiceEnumerateDependents="yes" ChangePermission="yes" ServiceInterrogate="yes" ServicePauseContinue="yes" ServiceQueryConfig="yes" ServiceQueryStatus="yes" ServiceStart="yes" ServiceStop="yes" /> <ServiceDependency Id="RPCSS" /> </ServiceInstall> <ServiceControl Name="CnvRemoteService" Start="install" Stop ="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" Id ="CnvRemoteServiceControl" /> And my services get installed, start, stop and removed on uninstall. Can you please let me know is it a right way? Or it will create any problem with any other environment like windows 7, 2003 server etc. Thanks, Rahul -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@deploymentengineering.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 1:30 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows service installation error The technique I usually use is leave the message box error displayed and go to the application directory to profile the EXE. I run the exe from the command line to see if any stack dumps are displayed. I'll try to start the service by hand to see if any messages are displayed and I'll use tools like ILDasm, Depends, Regmon and FileMon to profile the service to see why it isn't happy. Other then a file missing from the install or trying to have a service depend on something being installed to the GAC, I usually find it's not an install problem and pass the problem back to development with an offer to assist in troubleshooting.

Windows Installer usually displays a generic "privilege" error message always ignoring the real error when the service control manager returns any error when attempting to start/stop a service. The event log become the place to look for more information. -----Original Message----- From: rahul.ekb...@sungard.com [mailto:rahul.ekb...@sungard.com] Sent: Monday, July 26, 2010 8:11 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows service installation error Hi, No after removing whole ServiceControl component I am getting same message during service install. I am not understanding is it really permission issue or I am missing some service components like registry entries, dependency or dependent files. My works properly when I use CnvRemoteService.exe -service.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows service installation error the error message maybe incorrect, remove the start=install part and attempt to start it post install manually... it maybe that the service is dependent on a file that is not yet installed (.net or CRT etc) -----Original Message----- From: rahul.ekb...@sungard.com [mailto:rahul.ekb...@sungard.com] Sent: 26 July 2010 15:40 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Windows service installation error Hi, I am getting following error during installing the windows service "Verify that you have sufficient privilege to install system services" My WIX code is <Component Id="cmp4AFA6260BDEF424A3FD81CD2C40C3556" Directory="ALMEngineDir" Guid="{93681832-5F1A-492D-96E5-3FABE8532177}"> <File Id="fil7DDF0ADCCB9B4B27D88C426EB59A2072" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.EngineSrc)\CnvRemoteService.exe" /> <ServiceInstall Name="CnvRemoteService" Account="LocalService" Type ="ownProcess" Start ="auto" Id ="RemoteServiceID" ErrorControl="normal" /> <ServiceControl Name="CnvRemoteService" Start ="install" Stop ="uninstall" Id ="CnvRemoteServiceControl" /> </Component> Can any one knows what I need to change in my wix code.
