Sounds like you might have a dependency on some other service running,
have you checked the eventlog.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Windows Service
The requirement is to start the windows service immediately after
install and also the service should start automatically after reboot.
I also have the service control element defined as:
<!-- Install the Service -->
<ServiceInstall Id="WindowsService" Type="ownProcess" Start="auto"
ErrorControl="normal" Interactive="no" Vital="yes"
Account="[SERVICEACCOUNT]" Password="[SERVICEPASSWORD]" />
<!-- Start the Service -->
<ServiceControl Id=" WindowsService " Name=" WindowsService "
Start="install" Stop="uninstall " Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes" />
On reboot the service start up type is automatic, but the service is not
in started state. It doesn't give any error on reboot. If I manually
start the service after reboot, it starts without any errors.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Thanks,
Vijeta

Perhaps I am missing something, but I cannot figure out how I would use
the WebSite element (outside of a Component, so it acts as a locator) in
order to set the path for content.
If I have the following:
<iis:WebSite Id="EXISTINGWEBSITE" Description="Default Web Site"
SiteId="*" />
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="PATH_OF_EXISTINGWEBSITE">
<Directory Id="MyStuff" Name="MyStuff">
<Component Guid="PUT-GUID-HERE" Id="MyStuff" KeyPath="yes">
<CreateFolder />
<iis:WebDir Id="MyStuff" Path="MyStuff"
WebSite="EXISTINGWEBSITE" />
</Component>
... a bunch of Component elements containing files ...
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
the metabase changes happen in the correct place, but how do I get the
files to deploy to the proper directory? Do I have to write a custom
action to read the IISWebSite record in order to set the
PATH_OF_EXISTINGWEBSITE property? If I'm going to do that, I might as
well write a custom action that takes an arbitrary Windows Installer
query and returns the result as text...
Thanks,

It is possible to put a file into a Component containing only that file,
make it volatile and change the condition for installing the component
from 1 to 0.

Hey Grigory,
I don't believe you are able to remove a file while patching. However,
you
can change the file that you want to delete to a 0byte file. This will
be
effectively the same. I don't have an example of how to run a custom
action
but believe you just add a new action to your patch. There is a lot more
information to go with that. Please view Heaths blog.

Would someone have an example of how to "subscribe to the feature
selection
events on the feature tree and set a property when the appropriate
feature
has been selected and reset that property when the feature is
deselected."
or something similar? I am not familiar yet with subscribing to feature

I'm not sure why you would require a ServiceControl element if the
requirement is for autostart on reboot, not started at the end of the
install.
After the reboot, is the service properly created? Does it say that
it's set to automatic? Will it start manually? If it tries to start
and fails, does your service provide any logging/diagnostics to aid in
troubleshooting the problem?

Hi, I encountered a problem with FileInUse dialog. During
uninstallation, if the application is running, sometimes the dialog will
not show up and the uninstallation succeeds. The application will crash
if continue to use at finally.
Does someone meet the similar problem and what can I do to solve this
problem?
Thanks a lot!

I have had similar experiences with the FilesInUse dialog, although its
appearance (or lack thereof) has not been restricted to uninstalls. I've
never gotten around to determining why this behavior happens, however,
so I don't have a definite answer for you.
If you have a log handy of an uninstall that failed to show the
FilesInUse dialog, you might be able to find some clues by looking at
the InstallValidate action messages. This is where the checks are made
for files to be removed which also happen to be currently in use by a
running process.
If you don't see anything there, then maybe check out messages from the
various file costing actions, where the files to be overwritten/removed
are determined and calculated.

I looked into a log file for uninstalling, during InstallValid action, a
line reads: RESTART MANAGER: Did detect that a critical application
holds file[s] in use, so a reboot will be necessary.
The log indicates that a running application is found, but the FileInUse
dialog is not poped up to ask the user for closing the application.
Could it be something wrong with my FileInUse dialog with restart
manager?
