I'm installing a service as part of my install using Wix 3. Here's the (slightly modified) code I use:
<Component Id="MyService.exe" Guid="{11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111}">
<File Id="MyService.exe"
Name="MyService.exe"
KeyPath="yes"
Source="C:\BuildOutput\MyService.exe" />
<ServiceInstall
Id="MyService.exe.ServiceInstall"
Name="MyService"
DisplayName="My Special Service"
ErrorControl="ignore"
Start="auto"
Type="ownProcess" />
<ServiceControl
Id ="MyService.exe.ServiceControl"
Name="MyService"
Start="install"
Stop="uninstall"
Remove="uninstall"
Wait="yes" />
</Component>
Hope it helps.

AFAIK, the Windows Installer doesn't support creating services like that.

Hi,
I have a Win32 service that should be installed with my MSI. The typical
WIX entry for a service would look something like:
<Component Id='MyDemoComponents'
Guid='11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111'>
<File Id="MyServiceDll" Name='MySvcDll.dll' LongName='MyService.dll'
DiskId='1' src='$(env.MySourceDir)\MyService.dll' Vital='yes'/>
<ServiceInstall Id="MyServiceInstall"
Name="MyService"
DisplayName="My Service Name"
Description="My Service Description"
Type="ownProcess"
Interactive="no"
Start="auto"
Vital="yes"
ErrorControl="normal">
</ServiceInstall>
</Component>
However, this produces an ImagePath service entry that references
MyService.Dll, whereas I need to specify something like
"%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k MySvcHostGroup".
Cheers,
-Byron.
