Hmm. Well, I've done about a dozen service installers now, they all start after the install completes; I've not done anything explicitly to start the service; it's a .net service - so my understanding is that it simply runs the same type of install as the installutil does.
I am not sure which phase the installer installs the service. -----Original Message----- From: Ravi Raj [mailto:raviraj.callin...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2012 2:57 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
