Exactly. I understand the transacted nature of MSI and why things are the way
they are, but there is simply something wrong with MSI when files being
installed by one standard action but not another standard action are available
for consumption by yet another standard action. It's this bias that causes
the race condition that is at the hearrt of the problem, not whether an
installation developer is justified in wanting to automatically start a service
that he just created.

But it is possible to start services using MSI / WiX. I know. My
installation does (Im assuming it works for me because while the service is a
.NET one, it is not installed in or dependent on the GAC).
I guess what Im trying to say is that there is merit to the ServiceControl
element. Unfortunately, it doesnt apply equally for all choices of runtime
environment. L

Well, then what do you think, why is there a ServiceControl element with
start on install functionality? Should not it be completely removed to prevent
people from thinking that they can accomplish it with MSI/WiX? It seems to me
like people just simply need more than the current features.
