I actually struggled a bit with this as well, I discovered that the
easiest way to do that is:
<Component Id="NameServiceComponent" Guid="*" DiskId="1">
<File Id="ServiceId" Name="FileName" Source="FilePath" />
<ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstallId"
DisplayName="ServiceDisplayName"
Name="ServiceName" Description="" ErrorControl="normal"
Start="auto"
Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Account="NT
AUTHORITY\NetworkService"
Interactive="no"/>
</Component>
Apparently the ServiceInstall node references the file node directly
above it.

Subject: [WiX-users] Specify source of exe in ServiceInstall
I am trying to write an installer for a Windows Service. Depending on
the
deploy environment, I set a property called [ApplicationDirectory].
I have a separate component which copies all files from
[ProgramFilesFolder]
to [ApplicationDirectory] depending on what is dynamically set.
And then the service install from the new location
[ApplicationDirectory]
should happen.
In the below statement how do I specify the "Service1.exe" is in the
[AppDirectory] path:
<ServiceInstall Id="Service1Installer" Name="Service1.exe"
Type="ownProcess"
Start="auto" Vital="yes" ErrorControl="normal"></ServiceInstall>
Wrapping this within a File element with the source pointing to the exe
from
the new location will fail at compile time as [AppDirectory] will not be
set
then.
