Running scripts is not recommended and using InstallService should be avoided
from what I hear. (I am relatively new and don't claim to be an expert.)
I would look at the script and figure out what it is doing, then use the
equivalent wix elements to install the service. Something like this:
<ComponentGroup Id="Service.exe" Directory="WebServicesDir">
<Component Id="Service.exe" >
<File Id="Service.exe" KeyPath="yes"
Source="$(var.Service)\Service.exe" />
<util:User Id="AdminUser" Domain="[DOMAIN]" Name="[ACCOUNT]"
CreateUser="no" >
<util:GroupRef Id="AdminGroup"/>
</util:User>
<util:RestartResource ServiceName="Service_Reg_Key"/>
<ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes"
Name="Service_Reg_Key" DisplayName="$(var.RdpPkgNameBldProp)"
Description="!(loc.Description)" Start="auto"
Account="[DOMAIN]\[ACCOUNT]" ErrorControl="ignore" Interactive="no"
Password=""/>
<ServiceControl Id="StopService" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall"
Name="Service_Reg_Key" Wait="yes" />-->
<ServiceControl Id="StartStopService" Start="install" Stop="both"
Remove="uninstall" Name="Service_Reg_Key" Wait="yes" />
</Component>
</ComponentGroup>
There are other approaches on google blogs.
