I have had some similar problems with installing services and they are
not necessarily related to the current install.
My scenario:
1. Install a service
2. Do update install of new version with incorrect account or
password - the install fails and rolls back
3. Retry install with correct account and password. Install fails
complaining that I may not have sufficient privileges to install.
It turned out that the update install did not completely remove the
service entries. All of the files are removed during the rollback, but
the service table still contains the ervice entry (pointing at a
non-existant exe).
The ServiceManager GUI could not remove these bogus service entries.
However, when I used the SC command (SC DELETE servicename), it removed
the service and the next install attempt succeeded.

No, no errors in the msi log, as I can see. It says it runs the stop and
delete service actions. Added the log on the end.
The UnInstall will not stop the service, either, on UnInstall. Have
tried to stop service and the uninstall but not success either.
I will try this:
http://blog.wharton.com.au/2007/06/windows-installer-xml-wix-30-snippets
.html
It mention something about same id and name... Haven't seen anywhere in
the documentation that it is needed but I will have it a try.
I downloaded some wix file generator and on creating a service they
separated the serviceInstall and serviceControl in different
components....
If I use InstallUtil I can add and remove the service just fine. So the
service is ok to install with that and runs fine.
Seems like another interesting day at work :-).
Anyone have managed to get this to work or is the customaction for
InstallUtil a more "solid" path to go for the moment?

Any errors in the log if you run msiexec /x yourmsi.msi /lvx*
yourmsi.log?
Is the service also still running?

The install is working fine now, but on uninstall the files for the
service is removed but the service is still in the service list and in
the registry. Orca tells me the ServiceControl table has the flag set
for uninstall (160). I can't see what is missing?..
