Yes, I have been messing around with <Permission>, and so far I have
this:
<DirectoryId Id="INSTALLDIR">
<Component Id="FolderPermissions"
Guid="174E96BB-87D6-40B0-84A4-8FF6C58BA702">
<CreateFolder Directory="INSTALLDIR">
<Permission User="NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService"
GenericRead="yes" GenericWrite="yes" />
</CreateFolder>
</Component>
</DirectoryId>
My problem is, that I seem to REPLACE the existing permissions, where I
need to ADD to them.
When I do this, I complete remove all other permissions on the folder
(Except for System).
Shouldn't it be possible to append a new permission set, instead of
replacing the existing?
It doesn't seem right that I have to add ALL permissions to a folder,
when it can just as well
Inherit those from its parent.

I think there are some WiX built-in custom actions that set permissions
- I forget if it's Permissions or something else.

It was the account name. I changed it to "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService"
and presto: It installed without a hitch.
Now I only have a single question (at the moment): How do I set specific
permissions to a specific account on the installdir?
I need to set write permissions for "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" on the
installation directory.
Thanks,
Thomas Due

To add to this:
1) A dependent assembly that you're installing in the GAC will be an
issue because they're not available until the end of the install after
StartServices.
2) What would you do in other circumstances if your service crashed or
would not start? This is no different really. If it doesn't start at
all it's usually a dependency issue, an account issue, or a catastrophic
crash as soon as it starts. Trace or debug entries are something I
can't live without these days. It's not that I'm a poor developer,
honest, but with TraceListeners it's so easy to put trace information
that it's bad practice NOT to add Trace.WriteLine that goes to a text
file somewhere.
3) Regardless of what tool you use, the underlying engine is still
Windows Installer and an MSI file. Getting to know something about that
is always useful. In this case, the content of the ServiceInstall table
and allowed values for StartName are relevant.
Anyway, I don't believe that "Network Service" is the correct name for
that account. Those actual account names (as opposed to the friendly
names) need to be something like NT AUTHORITY\LocalService. Perhaps NT
AUTHORITY\NetworkService is the actual name.

Have you run depends/reflector on your file to see if your missing any
dependencies by chance?
