I have one requirement to create a service using WiX. I tried with two approaches
- Using Wix ServiceInstall
with the ServiceInstall I am able to create the service but could not able to start it. I tried with all possible ways and multiple Accounts but issue didn’t resolved
- Using custom action
Created one custom action whose work is to call Sc.Exe process to create and start the service.
I called this custom action in WiX installer. Custom action is getting called, sc.exe command is also getting executed, but service is not getting created.

Start=“auto”
ErrorControl=“normal”>
<ServiceControl Id="StartService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="GarudaApiExe" Wait="no" />

<!--Account="[SERVICECREDENTIALS_USERLOGIN]"
Password="[SERVICECREDENTIALS_PASSWORD]"-->
</ComponentGroup>
I am able to create the service if I comment the ServiceControl but still the service could not start. If I will uncomment the Service Control getting privileges issue and could not able to install the service.
Please help and let me know if still I am in wrong forum
