The error message from StartServices is pretty dismal.  The same message is presented for pretty much all reasons.  More like than not, you service won't start because some dependency is missing or something else.  You should be able to try diagnosing the service start while the dialog box

I was reading a thread today that was discussing this very question.  I too, would be more than willing to submit enhancements/bug fixes.  One question I had, though, was what if I adjust the code in such a way that it wouldn't really be helpful to other users.  Maybe I've limited some functionalit

Heh, they are not as mutually exclusive as you might think.  I haven't tried it myself, but WiX 3.0 will (I'm told) generate the registry entries for you using heat.exe - they come out as a element which can be slotted into the main install.  I'm using WiX 2.0 and achieve the same thing using tal

1.  Once you signed an assignment agreement it is now possible for your changes (bug fixes/enhancements) to be added to the WiX toolset.   2.  When you submit the changes to wix-devs, there will be discussion about the changes there.  In general, I would encourage you to have the discussi

That is SelfReg (although most services use the words -RegServer and -UnregServer to do it instead of -i and -u).  I'd encourage you to get them to pull whatever the SelfReg is in those services out and have them declaratively described in the MSI instead.  Life typically just works better

Great to have the Wix-users list back John, here is a script function sample. What it does is just querying web sites and pulling the result output into a property named "WebSitesList". If you want them to be displayed in the combo, the function will be a bit bigger: QUOTE Function GetSites() Dim

Well that's is the end of that saga. It seems we have some pretty funky services here, self registering almost. The services install/uninstall themselves by running them with a "-i" or -u" switch. Information's so precious, if only people would share it.   Thanks all the same guys, have a goo
