Answer 1

I had all sorts of problems with this.

As follows.

1. InstallShield takes ages to download
2. the registration process is a pain.
3. the configuration options are confusing and overly complex.
4. the accepted solution on this thread is a hack and it doesn't always work - see 1001 in the documentation - essentially you need to get through the paywall to get the right configuration options to install a windows service.

Solution for me as mentioned elsewhere - was to abandon InstallShield

Very easy from that point.

Edit: Update - install the latest version from here https://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/115492 for vs 2013 / 2015
