Problems installing WCF service

I am trying to include the installation of a WCF service which is hosted in a simple Windows Service in my Advanced Installer project. I am following the example as shown in this thread:

http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums ... =2&t=11379

The strange thing is that my project builds fine and I can run the installation. Everything else is installed without any problems. I get no errors. But when I am finished there is no service installed on the machine. Am I doing something wrong?

Re: Problems installing WCF service

Hi Coray,

I'm not sure why you encounter this behavior. There can be a problem with the service you try to install, maybe something wrong in its source code.

You can verify it again and also create a verbose log of the installation to check if it shows any error?

Re: Problems installing WCF service

Well I found out what was causing my initial problem. For some reason it had an Execution Stage Condition after I added a custom action. (NOT WindowsNT64 or something I think) Once I removed that condition it worked fine. It installed at least. I am still having other problems but I will post those in a different question.

What i need to achieve is. I want to create MSI package for WCF service it should contain all the WCF services inside that MSI package, After clicking the Msi package, it should install like silent installation, then respective service should be added and started in windows services.
Please guide me..
