I've noticed something curious about (~14 seconds after the wxs file is created, which is approximately when light is run, I'd guess) when I build the MSI package for my Windows Service - the machine in which the build is done seems to log (in the Windows event log) things which look like the service was installed there (when it is quite clear it wasn't, nor should it be in this case).
For example: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: EscalationService20121009103914. Product Version: 1.0.16. Product Language: 1033. Installation success or error status: 0. Then: Product: EscalationService20121009103914 -- Installation completed successfully. Is this expected? It is sort of potentially confusing. We're still using WiX 3.5.2519.0 for what that's worth. WXS file (my InstallerBuilder tool generates the file automatically, which is why some IDs and what not might look a little funny): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns:Util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"; xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> <Product Id="*" UpgradeCode="49c8c75a-5210-4944-b2b8-69814e6a874d" Version="1.0.16" Language="1033" Name="EscalationService20121009103914" Manufacturer="Statistics Canada" Codepage="1252"> <Package InstallerVersion="400" Compressed="yes" /> <Property Id="MSIRMSHUTDOWN" Value="2" /> <Property Id="MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL" Value="Disable" /> <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A later version of [ProductName] is already installed.
