My service is a .net core Dll so I need to register it with SCM (Service Control manager" as "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe {path to my dll}"

Is it possible to use external exe with ServiceInstall wix element?

  • Why do you need an external EXE when WiX provides built-in elements to install the service? It is much the point to have a standard solution for such things. – Stein Åsmul Dec 12 '18 at 01:38

    Because one way to host a .net core service is to run.. "dotnet.exe service.dll". https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/10465 – Xavier John Dec 12 '18 at 02:52
