Two of my attachments got clobbered on the way, so I am copy+pasting them here.

I was following the instructions in the following link. http://blog.vagmim.com/2004/09/installing-windows-services-created.html The preceding link uses InstallUtilLib.dll from .NET version 1.0 whereas I am using InstallUtilLib.dll from .NET version 2.0. When I tried to install the generated msi on a Vista machine, I got "Error 2869: The dialog ErrorDlg has the error style bit set, but is no an error dialog". When I tried to install on an XP machine, I got "InstallUtilLib.dll: Unknown error". I am attaching the verbose logs from both installation instances. I looked into the logs and also searched around in online forums but I can't seem to find a way to fix these errors by manipulating my WiX input. While I know that the author of the above link and Rob Mensching don't recommend installing services using a managed code custom action, I have no choice at the moment. :( Could someone please be kind with me and tell me what I could do to get my msi to install correctly? I am also attaching my WiX source and the config file used by InstallUtilLib.dll Sincerely, Raz Magar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
