This is requirement for ServiceInstall table (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371637(VS.85).aspx). Look for description of Component_ column:
"External key to column one of the Component Table. Note that to install this service using the InstallService table, the KeyPath for this component must be the executable file for the service."

Subject: [WiX-users] Service Install doesn't work when the component keypath is used I've tried to install a .NET service using the ServiceInstall element but didn't succeed when I've used the keypath attribute of the component. When I used the keypath attribute of the file and not the component the service was installed successfully. Is this a bug ? Here is the code (when using the keypath attribute of the file element): <Component Id="comp_KMF_799" DiskId="1" Guid="09A0B49A-E3EE-4080-A405-12F0E147F991" > <File Id="file_KMF_799" Checksum="yes" Source="..\KeyManagementFacility\OtarServer\Tait.KeyManagementFacility.OtarServer.exe" KeyPath="yes" /> <ServiceInstall Id="KeyManagementService" Name="KeyManagementService" DisplayName="Tait Key Management Service" Description="A Windows service providing Over-The-Air Rekeying for P25 devices" Type="ownProcess" Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Account=".\OtarServer" Password="[USERPASSWORD]" /> <ServiceControl Id="StartWixServiceInstaller" Name="KeyManagementService" Start="install" Stop="uninstall" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes" /> </Component> ======================================================================= This email, including any attachments, is only for the intended addressee.
