If I remember right, I don't think users have the 'start a service' right by
default. Even the
administrator gets given it the first time they go to the Services panel.
Installing the service as
the default LocalService user (don't specify a user in the WiX file) works
though. I briefly played
with having the installer let the user choose the user the service should run
as, and had to make a
Custom Action to give that user the 'log on as a service right'. I don't have
that code anymore as
the requirement was dropped.
That might not be the correct way to do things, and I might have gotten the
specific permission
names a bit wrong, but I think that's correct.
