I'm not sure why you are using that commit custom action to start a service,
the servicecontrol element should give you that control. Have you built and
ran your service on a Vista box yet? Also, if you use the servicecontrol
element, you can also use the MSI log to see what the Win32 error code is
when the service can't start. That should help you narrow down the problem.
