Appreciate your response, it clarifies a lot.

Our regular repair through ARP is configured to bring up a custom UI dialog
asking for a windows service logon account.
Since this is suppressed in resiliency repair, the service installation
fails, causing the entire repair to fail.

I guess I could try using InstallUtilLib.dll  (or InstallUtil.exe) to ask
for service credentials in resiliency repair mode.
The dialog for credentials that InstallUtil.exe pops up looks like basic
modeless UI which may qualify for resiliency repair mode.

Ironically, initially our dark generated wix setup did use
InstallUtilLib.dll to install the windows service.
But now we have switched to using ServiceControl and ServiceInstall WiX
elements.
