[WiX-users] MSI 5.0 ServiceConfigFailureActions fails during InstallExecuteSequence

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi everyone. I was trying out the ServiceConfigFailureActions element to be tried out on Windows 7. However, I keep getting an error that says I either don't have the right permissions or that there's something wrong with the package. There's another thread with the same problem (http://www.mail-archive.com/wix...@li.../msg30451.html), but it doesn't look like it was ever resolved. I've tried a lot of combinations of attributes, but nothing seems to make a difference. (As a side note, I had to suppress ICE27 to compile it, but I think that's a different story.) Here is my code:

<Component Id="cmp_testService1" Guid="F1EE44AC-56FD-46f0-A79A-78B9E603779B">
            <File
                   Id="TestService1"
                   Source="WindowsService1.exe"
                   KeyPath="yes" />

            <ServiceInstall
                   Id="InstallWindowsService1"
                   Type="ownProcess"
                   Description="Does test service"
                   ErrorControl="normal"
                   Name="testsvc"
                   DisplayName="Test Service"
                   Start="auto">

                 <ServiceConfigFailureActions 
                        Id="configTestSvc" 
                        OnInstall="yes" 
                        ResetPeriod="60">

                        <Failure Action="restartService" Delay="2000" />
                 </ServiceConfigFailureActions> 

                <ServiceConfig Id="configTS" OnInstall="yes" FailureActionsWhen="1" />

          </ServiceInstall>
 </Component>

I included a ServiceConfig element too because I didn't know if that was needed too. It doesn't seem to fix the problem though. Here is a log from the install (just the failure part):
