[wix-users] WixQuietExec Error

[Fyodor Koryazhkin]

Hi,
You can install and start services written in dot net only if they do not
rely on files placed in GlobalAssemblyCach.
In such a case you can install service without starting it and write
immediate custom action that starts your service. You place your custom
action after InstallFinalize standard action.
