Why reinvent the wheel? MSI can handle starting a service for you. Create a ServiceControl record and tie it to a component and put the condition on the component. This way your CA doesn't have to worry about starting the service, it'll get taken care of when StartServices runs.

Conditionally, it also needs to start a Windows Service. Windows service fails to start because impersonate of "yes" lacks sufficient privileges. Is there any way to change the impersonation within the custom action? An alternative is to split the custom action into two, one with impersonate of "yes", and one with impersonate of "no", but that requires passing data between the two deferred CA's, which isn't easy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
