There's quite a few things missing from this...
Where is your ServiceInstall element?
Where is your File element?
Why are you setting LocalSystem permissions on a RegistryKey? (LocalSystem
already has Administrator type registry access)
WiX won't be trying to write into the EventLog that you have 'created'. The
Service will still be responsible for that.
I suspect that you haven't configured the user properly in your WiX
ServiceInstall, and that is why it isn't starting, because it's not running
as
someone that is allowed to write into the EventLog, throwing an exception
because of this, and probably in your catch{} block you log the error
to the EventLog (which throws an exception aborting the service).
Please provide the full information.
I have created a Windows Service, it is installed by WiX, along with its own
EventLog source, and it happily writes to this EventLog without fail.
It runs as LocalSystem (just because I'm lazy, and don't want to create
individual folder permissions for a custom user)...
