In my experience all services are installed in a stopped state - getting them started it usually the problem!
That <ServiceControl> looks fine from a WiX 3.0 point of view, if ServiceControl/@Start is not optional in 3.5 I would say that is a bug.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall does nothing in WiX 3.5? Okay, this has been driving me crazy. It looks like I cannot install a service unless I have a ServiceControl element with Start="install" associated. In other words, it seems impossible to install a service in a stopped state. Is this not a supported scenario? On WiX 3.5.1623.0, the following snippet does not work because it is missing a Start="install" attribute. <Component Id="$(var.ProjectName)ServiceInstaller" Guid="C5A1BE3B-C831-4220-A184-81797B2C9F48"> <CreateFolder /> <ServiceInstall Id="$(var.ProjectName)ServiceInstall" Name="$(var.ProjectName) " DisplayName="$(var.ProjectName)" Type="ownProcess" Start="auto" ErrorControl="normal" Description="..." Account="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" Vital="yes" /> <ServiceControl Id="$(var.ProjectName)ServiceControl" Name="$(var.ProjectName) " Stop="both" Wait="yes" Remove="uninstall" /> </Component> Is there a recommend way to install a service in a stopped state? Should I open a bug?
