You will need to write a custom action that reads the encrypted xml file value. The service may be configured using wix if the xml data gets into a property by that custom action.

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?
