Hey there,

I am trying to get my application an installer via WiX 3.0. The exact code is:

<File Id="ServiceComponentMain" Name="$(var.myProgramService.TargetFileName)" Source="$(var.myProgramService.TargetPath)" DiskId="1" Vital="yes"/>

<!-- service will need to be installed under Local Service -->
<ServiceInstall
						Id="MyProgramServiceInstaller"
						Type="ownProcess"
						Vital="yes"
						Name="MyProgramAddon"
						DisplayName="[removed]"
						Description="[removed]"
						Start="auto"
						Account="LocalService"
						ErrorControl="ignore"
						Interactive="no"/>
<ServiceControl Id="StartDDService" Name="MyProgramServiceInstaller" Start="install" Wait="no" />
<ServiceControl Id="StopDDService" Name="MyProgramServiceInstaller" Stop="both" Wait="yes" Remove="uninstall" />

Thing is, for some reason LocalService fails on the "Installing services" step, and if I change it to "LocalSystem" then the installer times out while trying to start the service.

The service starts fine manually and at system startup, and for all intents and purposes works great. I've heard there are issues getting services to work right under LocalService, but Google isnt really helping as everyone's responses have been "got it to work kthx".

Just looking to get this service set up and started during installation, that's all. Any help? Thanks!
