Usually, this means your service has some dependency that hasn’t been completely installed by the time StartServices is called. A favorite way to hit this is to have a managed code service that depends on an assembly that is being installed to the GAC. Because assemblies aren’t committed to the GAC until InstallFinalize, the assembly won’t be found in the GAC until the install is complete.

I have managed to get it to install my services using the code below, however I still get errored when it tries to start the service. I can start the services manually post installation (if I supress the "StartService" action).

Any ideas anyone?
