Create Wix Installer For Windows Service
Wix Toolset Create Windows Service Installer

I tried to use the codes below in Wix.

Thanks for the article. As a note: adding the node in Windows 8.1 caused many headaches. I don't have time right now to research why, but it made the service get 'stuck' during the uninstall process requiring manual removal of the service, reboots, etc. February 20, 2015 at 5:03 AM. Jun 20, 2013 As far as I know, Installer classes are not supported in WIX, Custom Actions are used instead. How do you call your code from WIX? WIX has a element for installing services. Although not allmighty, this element is very powerful and the preferred method to install Windows Services. See Installing and starting a Windows Service. Since Visual Studio 2012, the traditional Windows setup project has been removed. WiX is the recommended alternative, and has been used by Microsoft to package products like Office, SQL Server and Visual Studio. WiX, (Windows Installer XML) is a free open source toolset by Microsoft that builds Windows installer packages from XML source code.

But when installing, the installer was freezing for like 3 minutes on status: Starting services, then I got this message 'Service Jobservice failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services'.Is there any wrong in my codes? And can I ask the user to input the windows system user name and password during the installation to get the 'privileges'?

Thanks a lot!

I found the solution on this page would install the service correctly but that the ServiceControl element would not start the service.

Comparing the wix installed service with manual installed service ('JobService.exe /install'), the 'Path to executable' field was missing a start switch. Fixed this in wix with the arguments attribute of ServiceInstall;

A long time lurker, this is my first post on here - I hope it helps someone.

An update for users of version 3.x of WiX. The following code will install and start the service under the local account. Note the Arguments property in the ServiceInstall tag.
