Thanks for the reply Phil, Sorry did reply sooner I missed your reply, I assumed my message went missing. It seems that the service I am attempting to start expect an event source to be created before it will run - another issue I'm having with WIX 2.0, I can't set an event source up. The error number I get is after trying to start it up is:
StartServices: Service: ISRM_S Error 1920. Service 'ISRM_S' (ISRM_S) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. However if I manually create the event source on the command line before attempting to install I get the same result so it's can't be this.... although i do still need to do this. I think I may have fixed it, it turns out that this service requires the .net framework to be installed! Always the last to know.

The error number is more useful, but you didn't report it. There's some differentiation between the error being an install error, a start error, stop error etc. Phil Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Simon Topley [mailto:simon.top...@wallingfordsoftware.com] Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 3:37 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Network Service Install Hello again ya'll, So I'm still having issues with the new set of installer I'm putting together specifically the installation of a Network Service. My dev system is a x64 XP and i can get it to work fine on this with: <ServiceInstall Id='ISRM_S.exe' Description='InfoStream - Remote Marshalling Service' DisplayName='ISRM_S' Name='ISRM_S' ErrorControl='normal' Start='auto' Type='ownProcess' Vital='yes' Account='NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService' Arguments='[RMSPORT]'/> However this fails if i try it on a 32 bit XP install. the same can be said for these accounts: NT AUTHORITY\Network Service NT AUTHORITY\{S-1-5-20} NT AUTHORITY\S-1-5-20 {S-1-5-20} S-1-5-20 NetworkService Network Service All of these fail saying I don't have sufficient privileges on XP 32, but 'NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService' works fine on my x64 system. Seems a lot of people have had this same issue with various languages / os versions and no real conclusions seem to have been met. Surely hundreds if not thousands of people are out there installing network services on multiple OS's every day.
