Re: [WiX-users] <ServiceInstall> and <ServiceControl> question

Unless you depend on something that happens after StartService, then I would
do it next to that action. Make sure it is a deferred action without
impersonation.

Thanks Blair. In that case, I think I will start the service with a CA. What
would be the proper sequence point to do this? Thanks, Dave

To reduce reboot prompts many of us set @Stop to "both".

Windows Installer assumes that if you want the service started during the
installation, it is a failure if it doesn't. It uses the built-in action
StartServices, which can't be redefined to ignore (all you can do is
condition it, which isn't what you are asking).

I use <ServiceInstall> and <ServiceControl> and noticed that if my service
failed to start [a bug in my code], then the install failed.
