1. I don't think you need 2 servicecontrol tags. You can combine the two you have and use one (I haven't tried two so I don't know if that's an issue). 2. Make sure that the person installing has admin rights on your install server. 3. if UAC is enabled, disable it (only on vista/server 2008) 4. make sure your user account is in DOMAIN\username format and that your password is valid 5. make sure you are giving your user LogonAsService rights. If you need more info, check the <User /> tag in the util extension. This will be required for the service to start with your service account.

I am of course not sure what the problem is but I can make some guesses - 1. the service is in .net 2. I was just using installutil to make my installations before 3. I have not had VS generate my service installer, I was just using System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase here is the code that is relevant: <Component Id='MainExecutable' Guid='a462dab0-83F1-4F22-985B-FDB3C8ABD471'> <File Id='RenderingServiceExec' Name='Render' LongName='RenderingService.exe' DiskId='1' Source='RenderingService.exe' Vital='yes' > </File> <ServiceInstall Id="RenderingServiceInstall" Name="RenderingServiceInstaller" DisplayName="Rendering Service" Type="ownProcess" Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Description="Rendering Service Installer" Account="[SERVICEACCOUNT]" Password="[SERVICEPASSWORD]" Vital="yes" /> <ServiceControl Id="StartRenderingServiceInstall" Name="RenderingServiceInstaller" Start="install" Wait="no" /> <ServiceControl Id="StopRenderingServiceInstall" Name="RenderingServiceInstaller" Stop="both" Wait="yes" Remove="uninstall" /> </Component> is there anything in that which would cause an error? The file is correctly placed.
