6599 is also too early - SxS is not ready yet at this point. But I've solved it now as proposed by you and Rob using:
<Binary Id="wixca" src="wixca.dll"/> ... <CustomAction Id="SetStartServiceCmdLine" Property="QtExecCmdLine" Value='"[SystemFolder]sc.exe" start MyServiceName' /> <CustomAction Id="RunStartServiceCommand" BinaryKey="wixca" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="immediate" Return="ignore"/> ... <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="SetStartServiceCmdLine" After="InstallFinalize" /> <Custom Action="RunStartServiceCommand" After="SetStartServiceCmdLine" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> Many Thanks! However I'm still wondering what the "official" way is to start up a service that needs access to the included VC2005 distributable runtime libraries ... ?
