The .NET Service

I have been scratching my head for quite some time to try and understand as to why exactly my installation fails with this error.
I created a basic .NET 4.8 windows service that have real basic functionality

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Test
{
    internal static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        static void Main()
        {
#if DEBUG
            Service1 test = new Service1();
            test.OnDebug();
            Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
#else

            ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;
            ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
            {
                new Service1()
            };
            ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
#endif

        }
    }
}

using Serilog;
using System;
using System.ServiceProcess;

namespace Test
{
    public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
    {
        public Service1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
            .WriteTo.File("<Log path>", rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Day)
            .MinimumLevel.Information()
            .CreateLogger();
        }

        public void OnDebug()
        {
            try
            {
                OnStart(null);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Error(ex, ex.Message);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                Log.Information("Service Started");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Error(ex, ex.Message);
            }
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            try
            {
                Log.Information("Service Stopped");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Error(ex, ex.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}

The WIX Project

I created my basic Wix project and added the service as a reference like usual.

Below is the Package.wxs file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?define Name = "Test" ?>
<?define Manufacturer = "Test" ?>
<?define Version = "1.0.0.0" ?>
<?define UpgradeCode = "1D38B1B5-0BD5-419B-9BAC-9F571D2F8048" ?>

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs">
    <Package
        Name="$(Name)"
        Manufacturer="$(Manufacturer)"
        Version="$(Version)"
        UpgradeCode="$(var.UpgradeCode)"
        Compressed="yes">

        <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A later version is already installed." />

        <Media Cabinet="cab1.cab" Id="1" EmbedCab="yes"></Media>

        <Feature Id="Service" Title="Test Service" Level="1">
            <ComponentRef Id="ServiceExecutable" />
        </Feature>

    </Package>
</Wix>

My Components.wxs file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?define Name = "Test Service" ?>

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs">
    <Fragment>
        <ComponentGroup Id="Components" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">

            <Component Id="ServiceExecutable" Bitness="always64">

                <File Id="Test.exe"
                      Source="$(var.Test.TargetDir)Test.exe"
                      KeyPath="true" />

                <RemoveFile Id="ALLFILES" Name="*.*" On="both" />

                <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller"
                                Name="Service1"
                                Type="ownProcess"
                                DisplayName="$(Name)"
                                Description="This is a test service"
                                Start="disabled"
                                ErrorControl="normal" />

                <ServiceControl Id="StartService"
                                Name="Service1"
                                Start="install"
                                Stop="both"
                                Remove="uninstall"
                                Wait="true" />
            </Component>

        </ComponentGroup>
    </Fragment>
</Wix>

And my Folders.wxs file

<Wix xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs">
  <Fragment>
    <StandardDirectory Id="ProgramFiles6432Folder">
      <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="!(bind.Property.Manufacturer) !(bind.Property.ProductName)" />
    </StandardDirectory>
  </Fragment>
</Wix>

When installing my service without the Service Control the service gets installed correctly and runs fine, however this makes the installer pretty useless since I don’t have the functionality of the installer.

The error only appears to be happening when I run it with the Service Control added.
I troubleshooted a bit with the log file and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
I ran the .msi file with PowerShell as admin and still came across this issue

I appended the Account attribute to the Service Install, that also didn’t seem to make a difference.

I followed steps to add the account to the service group policies, but with no luck, still the same error. (See link below for steps I took)

At this stage I am ready to give up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
