Isn't your ServiceControl using a different name than your ServiceInstall? My installer is set to use the same name for both for each given service. Not seeing that consistency with your code, but not 100% sure it's critical. Might be worth a try. Here's an example that works 100%
<ServiceInstall Id="FMAuthServerServiceInstall" Name="FlowMan Authentication" Description="Authenticate users and other FlowMan services." Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" ErrorControl="normal" > <ServiceDependency Id="RPCSS" /> </ServiceInstall> <ServiceControl Id="FMAuthenticationStart" Name="FlowMan Authentication" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Wait="yes"/> What I'm seeing in your code is MyWindowsServiceName being used in ServiceInstall And WixServiceInstaller being used in the two ServiceControl elements. -----Original Message----- From: Josh Pepper [mailto:josh.pep...@microsoft.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 1:29 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall not removing service? Thanks for the reply Chad. I have the Remove="uninstall" set in the ServiceControl .... any other thoughts as to why it wouldn't remove the service on uninstall? I've included the relevant wxs below.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall not removing service? Hi Josh - Attachments don't come through on the mailing list, but I think you just need to add a ServiceControl element with a Remove="uninstall" attribute. Check it out and see if that helps.

Hi folks - I just made a very simple Hello World service install with ServiceInstall. It installed fine. But when I uninstalled, the service itself remained, despite the fact that the service exe was removed. It seems to be that the service should have been removed, or the MSI should have failed... I thought vital defaults to Yes, right? Or is that just for File? I've included my wxs file ....
