Hi all, i want to create a msi package with a daemon / service configuration, but the installation of the service fails. To be more clear, the files are copied to the right place and even the firewall rules are working. But the service ... no chance. I tested the msi package in XP SP3, Server 2003 and Server 2008. Everywhere the package installs the files and the firewall rules, but not setup the service. Can please someone give me hint, whats it's missing? Regards,
