Hi, I'm making an installer for a Windows Service that has been developed in .Net, the following is how I expect to declare my service:
<Component Id='MainExecutable' Guid='a462dab0-83F1-4F22-985B-FDB3C8ABD471'> <File Id='RenderingServiceExec' Name='Render' LongName='RenderingService.exe' DiskId='1' Source='RenderingService.exe' Vital='yes' /> <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> As i understand it when I install the MainExecutable as part of the process of doing the installation it will go ahead and install the service, what I am wondering about is how the Service installer knows how to install the service, do I need to add an installer to my .Net project (I would suppose so)- Is there anything about the code above that should be changed or done differently? I am not in wix 3.0 as I ran into problems compiling anything.
