Bob, you are my hero. :)
Here is a WiX fragment produced by tallow of a registry dump of a custom
event log and two sources that were produced by a .NET installer class run
against the .NET 1.0 from a fairly old VS.NET install project I used in the
past with names sanitized:

Actually, I may well be... The service in question is an OS monitoring agent.

Thanks Eric. With a little tweaking it worked great. It took me a

Thanks Phil.
Google turned that one up, as well as something seemingly relevant from the
MS KB, but I couldn't find a way to use any of that advice to fix it either.
Pretty vexing. We ran out of time to deal with it, so we just moved on.
I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again.

This sounds like a slightly hard problem. I think you might need to either
have a CA that calls GACUTIL -l and tries to capture the output of it
somehow to determine if the assembly is there or have a .NET CA that
attempts to load the assembly based on its full name and see if that works,

No, it works for .NET (COM interop) as well, and in 2.0 - you need to use the -c switch rather than -s.
Actually, I managed to get a little confused between InstallUtil and RegAsm there, and I'm not sure if your service exposes COM interop interfaces - sorry about that. If it's just a service,
Tallow won't reverse engineer Installer classes. You'll need to figure out
how the service is actually installed and create the authoring for the
ServiceInstall elements. That should not be too hard though. You'll also
get a lot more functionality this way, as you can set a lot of things that

It's kinda funny, but you need to use a custom action to set the property.
Apparently MSI won't let you assign a property value from another property to
keep an infinite regress from happening.

So tallow works for .NET assemblies? I thought it would only capture that
information from COM objects... Or do I need to go to 3.0.x for that? I'd been

If services are all you need to worry about then you're in great shape.
Just delete all the .NET Installer based classes that are installing
your service now and replace it with WiX that looks something like this:
During the install the user is asked for the directory where
an already existing application is. The user types in “C:\Program
Files\Foo”. I then set the value of Property “INSTALLDIR”
to be that directory path. Now that I have that path I want to copy files
to a “bin” folder that alrea
Depending on the version of WiX, you would use either tallow (in 2.0.x) or heat (3.0.x) to generate the registration information. This dumps a load of stuff into the registry table, essentially mimicking what self-registration does but within the MSI transaction (meaning it gets rolled back during
Sorry, bad choice of words there. I really should have said "assembly", not "component". The check would be for a third-party assembly, to ensure that the prerequisites for our product our installed before they can run our installer. Sounds like there's nothing there for that right now.

I've seen it said often enough that use of InstallUtil (and self-registering

Hello!Virtual directories are not deleted by default on uninstall. The problem is that uninstaller don't know the name of virtual directory that needs to be removed. So, you have to save virtual directory name into registry on install, so that it is available on uninstall. Here is a sample:

The bootstrapper
