Bob's point is that they probably are - files are already in place and registered by the time the StartServices action runs, assuming of course that you are actually installing them into a location that your service can get them.
The dependency issues are: 1) Assemblies have never been available in the GAC until InstallFinalize. A dependency on this will fail a StartServices. 2) A Vista dependency on the C++ SxS runtime will also fail a StartService because they are installed in the same way as assemblies into the GAC and are not available until InstallFinalize.

If they just need to be present, they'll be there by the time MSI goes to start the service. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
