[wix-users] Running an EXE through Windows Service using WiX

[Mayooran Macilamany]

I have this mosquitto.exe which I need to install as a Windows Service
using WiX. When I create a Windows Service project and run the EXE through
its start method everything works fine. But is it possible to run the
mosquitto.exe using only the ServiceControl and ServiceInstall lines and
without having a separate Windows Service project? I tried this but the
Service fails to start though it installs correctly.

Start="auto" Account="LocalSystem"  ErrorControl="normal"/>
 <ServiceControl Id="MosquittoSC" Start="install" Stop="both"

 Have I done something wrong here or do I really need to launch this
mosquitto.exe through an another exe created using a Windows Service
project? Any help would be much appreciated.
