If the service literally starts and stops without following the proper service protocols, then Winmdows will give you that message about "Some services stop....". It means that your service didn't do anything. If it looks for some resource and exits if it can't find it, then that's the issue. The "insufficient privilege" message is a bogus generic message.
This doesn't look like a WiX issue at all. It's an issue with the code in your service. You need to trace the execution path. Phil ========================================= I can install my service but can't start it after installing. It tells "Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". But I run my installer as admin (Windows 7 Pro) and also disable UAC. Further more I can install and run the service with instalutil.exe through command prompt (my service project includes realization of Installer class and in general is maked up according this article), and all works fine with the service in that case. If I replace Wait="yes" of the ServiceControl element to "no" the service installs without errors but not starts. I also can't start the service manually in that case because the service starts and immediately stops with message "service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do". I searched about this problem in Internet but find no solutions.
