Start service after a custom action
I have a custom action that installs a service and now i need to change the service state and startup type. I tried to use the service utility in basic msi project but the service tries to start before it has been installed. Can anyone provide a fix to this? I can achieve the same using custom actions but i was avoiding using it.

I was missing a very basic thing that the custom action can be sequenced before the start services action and that solved the issue for me 🙂
