Unfortunately, I don't know of any custom action that would work -- httpd.conf isn't .ini or XML. - add Apache binaries into my MSI (only if I have no other choice) The stock Apache MSI packages don't appear to support multiple instances so you'd have to do it all over. - wix (ServiceConfig or ServiceInstall?) will be extended or someone writes an extension for it (which will use a custem action I guess)   If I use the Apache-self-install custom action (as done by the apache-msi), the service will be installed to run as LocalSystem. I'd ordinarily suggest an extension that used a table to define extra services, using the installed Apache.exe to do it. However, if it's not possible to use Apache.exe to change the user account, that's pretty bad. It might be better to write the services directly. How do I change the user and password for that service (without using ServiceInstall)? ServiceConfig does not provide such options. Because ServiceInstall does.
