Is it possible to use the ServiceInstall fragment for Java applications packaged with WiX?
Currently, I have created an MSI installer for a Java application with WiX. I’m using a java service wrapper (http://kenai.com/projects/winsw/pages/Home) and Custom Actions in WiX to install/uninstall the application as a service. However, based on discussions elsewhere, there appear to be drawbacks to using Custom Actions while the ServiceInstall fragment seems more appropriate for installing applications as a service. I’m researching the possibility of creating a valid service executable in C# that I can use in a ServiceInstall fragment that would in turn start/stop my java app, if that helps. Any feedback on the recommended way forward is appreciated. Any solutions which involve restrictive software licenses are not acceptable.
