Hi ... I had similar problem two years ago. I had no problem to install the service using 'Service.exe -service' command.
I found out that during call to 'Service.exe -service' some registry keys are written into HKCR. If you have source code of your service check for the YourService.rgs file and adjust the following code with appropriate values: <Component ... <File ... <ServiceInstall... <AppId Id="YOUR_SERVICE_GUID" LocalService="YourServiceName" ServiceParameters="-Service" Description="YourServiceDescription" /> <Component/> If you do not have the sources of your Service.exe you can check the registry keys for the needed values: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\YourServiceName.EXE] "AppID"="{YOUR_SERVICE_GUID}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{YOUR_SERVICE_GUID}] "ServiceParameters"="-Service" "LocalService"="YourServiceName" @="YourServiceDescription" Hope that it will help you.
