Hi Phill,

Thanks for the reply.  I suspected something like this might be necessary.

I do this:
      <Component Transitive="yes">
        <RegistryValue Root="HKMU" Key="SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\serviceShortName\subfolder if needed" Name="parameter" Value="[MSI_PUBLIC_PROPERTY]" Type="string" KeyPath="yes" />
      </Component>

I use transitive='yes' because my mba may change the value on repair, but you may not want to do that.

Hi again Folks,

I'm trying to install the apache tomcat servlet using the "proper" Wix/MSI syntax, and things are going well up to a point.  I've got everything in place, except a registry key "Parameters" under the service's key.  There's nothing (but the empty default value) in this key, but the service won't start without it.

I used tomcat's service.bat file to install a mirror service to see what was wrong, and that subkey is the only difference.  I manually added the key, and my service starts.

I'd like to avoid using tomcat's service.bat file, but none of the service related elements appear to allow a subkey to be created.  Can I just hack in a RegistryKey element, or is there a better way?

Thanks again for the help.
