[wix-users] Major Upgrade of Service

[Phil Wilson]

If the guids aren't the same and your upgrade is scheduled at the end (such
as after InstallExecute or InstallFinalize) then you'll be trying to install
a service with the same name on top of an existing service of the same name.
Using the same component guid makes the service the same, and being
upgraded. So yes, the guids need to be the same or your upgrade needs to be
early, such as afterInstallInitialize.

-- You might get this if you broke the component rules (the new component
guid or keypath of the component) is not the same as the original,  --

My original installer did not assign a GUID to either the Component or File
which IIRC will auto assign a GUID.  Is this true and if so if the auto
assigned GUID the same from build to build or does it change.  Could this be
what is keeping the service from installing?
