In that case, I can probably use installutil to install my windows service.
Again how can I achieve something like this?
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action='ManagedInstall' After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<CustomAction Id="ManagedInstall" Directory="*[ApplicationDirectory]*"
ExeCommand='"[WindowsFolder]\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installUtil.exe"
/LogToConsole=false **Service1.exe'
Return='check'>
</CustomAction>
I want to mention the source of the exe to be different than the
[ProgramFilesFolder], some other directory, the value which is set in
[ApplicationDirectory]

ServiceInstall in MSI doesn't support that scenario. MSI SDK says
ServiceInstall always points at the key path of the Component.

Thanks, I am aware of this. The point I am trying to make is that in my
case, the source of the File element above the ServiceInstall
is not clear at compile time. As I mentioned, I set a property called
[ApplicationDirectory] during execution and this would hold the path
that should be set to <File> element's source

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.
