A console application is not a windows service, unless it implements code to
support the windows services API.  The error indicates that the SCM sent an
event to the service and it did not respond (which makes sense if it was
just a console app and did not have any code to support the windows services
api).  Wix does not change a typical console application into a windows
service.  Wix is a set of tools to create MSI based installers.
