You shouldn't need to do anymore than that. You don't need a service installer in the .net code that is what the ServiceInstall element does (basically installing a service is nothing more that writing a few registry entries HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services).

I am not in wix 3.0 as I ran into problems compiling anything.
