Do you have a ServiceControl element that stops the service on install? <ServiceControl Name="My Service Name" Stop="Both" Wait=Yes" ... />

This doesn't happen the *first* time I install the service, but when I try to upgrade it. I've searched around and tried a few different things, but nothing has solved it so far. My ServiceInstall looks like this :- <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Name="My Service Name" DisplayName="My Display Name" Description="My description" Start="auto" Account="LocalSystem" ErrorControl="ignore" Interactive="no"> I'm logged in as a local administrator. I've tried logging in direct on the machine, not just from remote desktop. I've tried making sure the Name attribute in the ServiceInstall tag matches the service name in the service code. If I uninstall the service and run my MSI, it works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
