Type of serviceinst...@start attribute is not "Formatted" 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx).  So, depending 
on when decision has to be made on this attribute's value:

- Build time
  Use preprocessor directives to set variable and use it something like this:
  <ServiceInstall ...
     Start='$(var.Start)' ...

  Or

  <?if $(var.Start) = "disabled" ?>
  <ServiceInstall ...
    Start='disabled' ...
  <?endif?>
  ...

- Install time
  - Use conditions on Components with one component for each combination of 
Start attribute's value.
  - Use custom action to update StartType column of ServiceInstall table 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371637(VS.85).aspx).  Schedule this 
action somewhere before InstallServices action.
  - Use transforms to do the same.

Just few options you might want to consider.

Alex

Subject: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall - Start element


Hi, 

I have created a property that gets the value for the 'Start' element. 
<Property Id="STARTTYPE" Value="disabled" /> 
The compiler returns following error: 
: error CNDL0022 : The ServiceInstall/@Start attribute's 
value, '[STARTTYPE]', is not one of the legal options: 'auto', 'demand', or
'dis 
abled'. 
Failed ... 

the wix code: 
<Property Id="TARGETDIR" Value="D:\Reuters\RkdDataGuideService" /> 
    <Property Id="SERVICELOGONUSER" Value="LocalSystem"/> 
    <Property Id="SERVICELOGONPASSWORD" Value="test" /> 
    <Property Id="STARTTYPE" Value="disabled" /> 
    
<ServiceInstall Id='RkdDataGuideServiceInstall' 
                          DisplayName=RKD Data Guide Service' 
                          Name='RkdDataGuideService' 
                          ErrorControl='normal' 
                          Start='[STARTTYPE]' 
                          Type='ownProcess' 
                          Interactive='no' 
                          Vital='yes' 
                          Account='[SERVICELOGONUSER]' 
                          Password='[SERVICELOGONPASSWORD]' 
                          />                 

          <ServiceControl 
            Id='RkdDataGuideServiceControl' Name='RkdDataGuideService' 
             Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall' Wait='no' 
            /> 

Is it possible to assign a value for the Start element without explicitly
noting for example: 
Start = 'disabled'? 

Please advise. 

Thank You.
