Hi,
I've separated my WiX installer into multiple fragment files. My
windows service is broken into "ServiceFiles.wxs" and
"ServiceActions.wxs", for example. I ran into an issue where my service
wasn't getting installed because it wasn't in the same component as the
executable anymore. Like so:
<Component Id="WindowsService_InstallService"
Guid="{8DE953A1-2D84-42ba-8A03-0A0F79CC3BCC}">
<CreateFolder />
<ServiceInstall Id="InstallService" ErrorControl="normal"
Name="Windows Service" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess"
Description="Description..." DisplayName="Windows Service"
Account="[SERVICE_DOMAIN]\[SERVICE_ACCOUNT]"
Password="[SERVICE_PASSWORD]" Vital="yes" />
</Component>
If I move the "ServiceInstall" back into the component with the file it
works fine:
<Component Id="WindowsService.exe" Guid="*">
<File Id="WindowsService.exe" KeyPath="yes"
Source="Published\Service\WindowsService.exe" />
<ServiceInstall Id="InstallService" ErrorControl="normal"
Name="Windows Service" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess"
Description="Description..."
DisplayName="Windows Service"
Account="[SERVICE_DOMAIN]\[SERVICE_ACCOUNT]"
Password="[SERVICE_PASSWORD]" Vital="yes" />
</Component>
Is there any way to separate the "ServiceInstall" out from the file
component? I'd like to keep my files in one fragment and actions on
another. I'm guessing "no" because there's no way to specify the
"binPath" of the service but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks,
Chris McKinnon
