OK, then it comes down to whether or not you are referencing
everything in the ServiceInstall properly.  I've used MSIs to install
and manipulate services and if everything matches properly, its a
no-brainer, but if anything in the ServiceInstall or ServiceControl
tables are specified wrong, then it will fail and you get that generic
error message.

In particular, your display name is *not* used to control the service,
but rather its service name is used.

The ServiceInstall table (and the corresponding element in WiX) is
essentially a table form of all the arguments to the Win32 API
::CreateService and the ServiceControl table (and corresponding
element in WiX) is essentially a table form of the sequence
::OpenService, ::ControlService, and ::CloseServiceHandle.

If your service installs properly outside of your MSI and your MSI
fails, then your data is just plain wrong.  Check all the data against
what your service expects/needs.

A very common problem (which appears frequently on the mailing list)
related to installation of services is that the service has a dependency
on something (e.g. on debug versions of runtime files, or even just
standard runtime files) that may not be present on the end user's
machine.

Another very common problem is inappropriate sequencing of the service
start operation. An example would be attempting to start a service
before the files have been installed. (Don't laugh... that really has
happened!)

One thing I find helpful in such situations is at the point when the
installation fails, I switch immediately (without acknowledging the
error) to the "manage my computer" services area and attempt to start
the service manually. Typically it will also fail there, and you can
then look for missing dependencies etc.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Richard

How do you know that your service starts properly at all?

Since you're installing it, I assume that you've written and debugged
it already, but you didn't say.

Your service names don't match:

>  DisplayName='foobar Service' Name='FoobarExe' ErrorControl='normal'
> Start='auto' Type='ownProcess' Vital='yes' />
>   
>  Name='Foobar.exe'  Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall' />

In one place you call it 'FoobarExe' and in the other place you call
it 'Foobar.exe'.
