2009-03-20 Thread Rob Hamflett
If I remember right, I don't think users have the 'start a service' right by default. Even the administrator gets given it the first time they go to the Services panel. Installing the service as the default LocalService user (don't specify a user in the WiX file) works though. I briefly pla
