So I guess the answer is that I have to write a custom action!? Chris
Does it still do this if the "wait" value is zero? (or no). It won't start it, but I'm wondering if it will still be catastrophic.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to start an existing service Hey Phil - I'm wondering if ServiceControl can work on a Disabled service, though. OP seemed to indicate the service is disabled by default, which I see on my XP box here as being the case, too. I'm writing a sample install that tries to start a Disabled service to see how it reacts.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to start an existing service You should be able to do this with a ServiceControl element. I don't know the WiX details, but the ServiceControl table in MSI is not directly connected to installing that service.

How can I start the service in my installation? Is it possible with the ServiceInstall/ServiceControl - tags?
