The reason I'm struggling to believe this is that Windows Installer doesn't have an action called ServiceInstall. It does have one called CreateServices.
I'd have to see a verbose installer log and the machine in question to troubleshoot further. Basically I've never seen anything like this in my 10 years of MSI. ---------------------------------------- From: "wixtester" <sangee...@hotmail.com> Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 2:35 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall takes 2 minutes to install one service on Windows 8 Starting the service is pretty fast, all the 4 services start within seconds. It is the ServiceInstall action that takes 8 minutes for 4 services. This is a fresh HyperV Virtual machine that I am trying on. Registry settings (servicespipetimeout or anything) is not altered.
