I tried to use the codes below in Wix.
But when installing, the installer was freezing for like 3 minutes on status: Starting services, then I got this message "Service Jobservice failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Is there any wrong in my codes? And can I ask the user to input the windows system user name and password during the installation to get the "privileges"?
Thanks a lot!
<File Id='JobServiceEXE' Name='JobService.exe' DiskId='1'
Source='JobService.exe' Vital='yes' KeyPath='yes'/>
<ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes"
Name="JobService" DisplayName="123 Co. JobService"
Description="Monitoring and management Jobs" Start="auto"
Account="LocalSystem" ErrorControl="ignore" Interactive="no" />
<ServiceControl Id="StartService" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall"
Name="JobService" Wait="yes" />
</Component>
The following code works for me... no need to prompt for username/password :)
<File Id='JobServiceEXE' Name='JobService.exe' DiskId='1' Source='JobService.exe' KeyPath='yes'/>
<ServiceInstall

ErrorControl="normal"
/>
<ServiceControl Id="StartService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="JobService" Wait="yes" />
