I forgot to mention this in my article. This is only for services which implement the Installer class" Which I don't really understand if that means that the code in the linked article is only for use with Services written in .Net which implement the Installer Class, otherwise one should use ServiceInstall? Or the exact opposite? At any rate my service doesn't implement the installer class. Should I use the code in this example or do something else. Furthermore my UI is provided using WixUI_Mondo - is there anything about installing a service with WixUI_Mondo that I should do to make it work. My current stop in the installation is that I can't install the service after installation. What should I do to solve this problem? Use ServiceInstall? Y/N Use Installer Class? Y/N Use Installutil? Y/N - if Y how with WixUI_Mondo?
