title: Wix: The service cannot be started during installation
body: <p>I'm having a problem with Wix Service as the service cannot be started during install progress. It throws the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried with both <code>[WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSYSTEM]</code> and <code>[WIX_ACCOUNT_LOCALSERVICE]</code> but no one of them work.</p>
  
  <p>But there is weird here as I have an installer which using ClickOne, it includes the same service component as the one I have been using in Wix. The ClickOne installs service just fine (using InstallUtil.exe), so it proves the account has right to start a service.</p>
  
  <p>Then, I uninstall the software (installed by ClickOne), and running the Wix installer again, the service starts well now. I don't know the reason why?</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to put some flows for more clearly:</p>
  
  <p>1- On a fresh machine</p>
  
  <p>2- Running Wix software installer --> the service cannot be started and throwing error message --> Cancel install</p>
  
  <p>3- Running ClickOne software installer --> service starts well --> Uninstalling software</p>
  
  <p>4- Running Wix software installer --> service starts well</p>
  
  <p>Also note that, I've tried 2 times on 2 fresh machines but it's the same. Anyone can shed some light on this weird behavior? Or anything I should verify against?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
