Sorry should have been more descriptive, since you are using Network Service as the Account... Network Service requires a password, most likely your windows logon credentials password... So add to the ServiceInstall element Password="<some password>" that should work
You also might want to add the ServiceControl element i.e.: <ServiceControl Id="StartYourService" Name=="$(var.serviceName)" Start="install" Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" Wait="no" /> -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ogilvie Sent: November-01-12 5:26 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

Subject: [WiX-users] Starting a service as Network Service I am trying to start a service as "Network Service" and getting a "access denied" error. I can start the same service as "Local System". Am I missing something basic here? <ServiceInstall Id="VMAgentServiceInstall" DisplayName="!(loc.ServiceDisplayName)" Name="$(var.serviceName)" Description="!(loc.ServiceDescription)" Interactive="no" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Account="NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE" Vital="yes"> <util:ServiceConfig FirstFailureActionType="restart" SecondFailureActionType="restart" ThirdFailureActionType="none" ResetPeriodInDays="1" RestartServiceDelayInSeconds="120"/> <ServiceDependency Id="WINRM" /> <ServiceDependency Id="BITS" /> <ServiceDependency Id="WINMGMT" /> </ServiceInstall> Thanks, -Radhika ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
