Right now I think the only way will be to use a DLL custom action to call ChangeServiceConfig2 with the SERVICE_CONFIG_SERVICE_SID_INFO parameter and a SERVICE_SID_INFO structure with the dwServiceSidType member set to SERVICE_SID_TYPE_UNRESTRICTED.

If you're interested in stability then you want WiX v2. We carefully

WiX v3 is far more "exciting". Lots of cool new
features there but things sometimes get broken because they are more

Our MSI is designed to prompt the user to uninstall a previous

Thanks for your input. Votive is one of two things that are a
stumbling block from last drop. Please be aware, however, that Votive went
through a major overhaul, and thus there are some “growing pains”
for the first drop. Also note that Wix v3, although very stable, is still a
beta version
If Votive is a stumbling block, I hope you'll consider that
some users are interested in a new,
stable WiX release without
particularly caring about Votive. At least this one is. :-)

I'm not really sure that I'm clear of the implications of advertised or not, but setting @Advertise to yes makes it compile without error, and I get the shortcut when installing.. so for now I'm happy :)

For your problem you could simply use a

Still, I don't like the idea of registering the component using regasm, it still
seems far too fragile.
