<wix:ServiceInstall Id="MyServiceInstall" Name="MyService (Hostfunc1)" DisplayName="My Super Service" Description="Some Description" ErrorControl="ignore" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Interactive="no" Account="[SERVICEUSER]" Password="[SERVICEPWD]" />
I did the mistake of using
Type="shareProcess"which gave me the perfectly correct error message that didn't help me at all:
"Error 1083: The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service."
Setting the Type to "ownProcess" again solved the problem.
