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 is up...

Subject: [WiX-users] password is incorrectly set during ServiceInstall

 

I have my service installed like this and it installs the service correctly,

but service is unable to start due to login failure.

 

     <ServiceInstall Id='MyServiceInstall'

        DisplayName='myservice' Name='myservice'

        ErrorControl='ignore' Type='ownProcess' Vital="no" Start="auto"

         Account='[SERVICEDOMAIN]\[SERVICEUSERNAME]' Password='[SERVICEPASSWORD]' />

 

I traced the logs and the password is correct there. If I set the same password

in services.msc, it works fine. ServicePassword has couple of ‘$’ chars in it,

if that is of any significance.

 

Anyone hit this issue and found the solution, let me know.

 

Thanks

Chandra
