This is just the general MSI/.NET install issue that assemblies aren't available in the GAC until InstallFinalize, so things like StartServices or custom actions that depend on assemblies in the GAC fail with this kind of error.

FileNotFOundException. Actuallty the WS1.exe.config has a custom Config section with a type "WS1Config" belogs to an assembly which will also be installed to the GAC in the same package. if I remove the attribute STart from SErviceControl and manually start the service after installation it works fine. right now I have written vbs to start all the windows services in the custom event. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-wix-users--Windows-Service-%28ServiceControl%29-tp18026492p18026492.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
