We are moving to Visual Studio 2013 and my current project i built in Vs2010 is a wcf service hosted by a windows service. I created a setup project and all worked as expected.
Moving to 2013, setup projects are no longer supported. I tried the InstallShield lt, its a sham trying to get us to spend more money. So i went to wix. Testing the new deployment possibilities i built the basic windows service app here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zt39148a(v=vs.110).aspx When i used the Installshield LT it installed and created the application event log(There were other problems with that setup project that prevents me from using it) So i created a wix setup project, which is pretty awesome except for the fact when you install it doesnt seem to grant correct permissions to write to event log. If i comment out the code that writes to the event log on start, the service will start. Event1.WriteEntry("Command received to start service."); If i dont i get the service failed to start. In wix i added this: InstallPrivileges="elevated" But it made no difference. I searched stackOverflow and found another reffernce to this: <Property Id="MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION" Value="1" /> to force run as admin but all this did was force me to restart me machine whenever i uninstall, it still wont write to the event log. I ran the msi from an eleveated command prompt as well with no luck. The service will have its own logon name eventually but its currently set to LocalSystem. I changed the account to my domain name(an administrator) and the service still will not start. I changed the regkey permissions here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog to full control for my account and nothing. Its windows 7. Any and all help is much appreciated. -- Steven Dyson To whom much is given, much will be required. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android apps run on BlackBerry 10 Introducing the new BlackBerry 10.2.1 Runtime for Android apps.
