Hi all,
I am looking for a way to start windows service via wixtoolset with some 
parameters only once (during installing my app). I am trying to achive 
this goal with "Arguments" attribute from "ServiceInstall" element but 
params are passed each time I restart my service.

         <ServiceInstall Id="Service Id"
                         Name="Service Name"
                         DisplayName="Service Display Name"
                         Interactive="yes"
                         Vital="yes"
                         Start="auto"
                         Type="ownProcess"
                         Description="Service Description"
                         ErrorControl="normal"
                         Arguments="--param" />

Is there a way to pass arguments to windows service only once (when 
application is installed)
