I'm writing an installer for a Windows service. It has to run under Vista, so 
it's non interactive. This service needs to have the user ID and password of a 
web service to do it's business. That info is stored (encrypted) in an XML 
config file.

I have to ask the user/installer for the user ID and password before the 
service starts, If it was a standard Windows app I'd do this when the program 
first ran and pop up a dialog. However, with a non-interactive service I can't 
do this.

So, can WiX for the work for me? Or do I need to write an app that is installed 
with the service, auto runs, collects this user ID/password, writes it to the 
config file and then starts the service itself?
