You don't need to reference the project to create a WiX install you just need
fragment like this:
<Component Id="SampleService.exe" DiskId="1" Guid="GUID_HERE">
<File Id="SampleService.exe" Name="SampleService.exe"
Source="Files\SampleService.exe" KeyPath="yes" />
<ServiceInstall Id="SampleService" Name="SampleService"
Description="Sample Service" DisplayName="SampleService" Interactive="yes"
Start="auto" Vital="yes" ErrorControl="normal" Type="ownProcess" />
<ServiceControl Id="StopSampleService" Name="SampleService" Stop="both"
Start="install" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes" />
</Component>

Can someone provide me with a sample of how can I go about installing a Windows
Service written in C++ to get installed using Wix. I know I cant add a .vcproj
to a WIXPROJ, so how do I solve this issue of referring to the service
executable to install it.
