Re: [WiX-users] Wix WCF

Hi Nick, Burn bootstrapper core is native Code, so it does not read .net configuration files. You can add a configuration file for your managed assembly which runs within the bootstrapper. You then habe to Olaf the configuration file by hand. Don't forget to add the config file to the payload.

I see you have this fixed but just for completeness did you install WiX and then VS2012? If so that is the problem, WiX needs to register itself with VS and if VS isn't there it can't - a repair of WiX should also have fix the problem. Neil -Original Message- From: Joe Barker

Why reinvent the wheel? MSI can handle starting a service for you. Create a ServiceControl record and tie it to a component and put the condition on the component. This way your CA doesn't have to worry about starting the service, it'll get taken care of when StartServices runs.
