Exe wont run as a wix installed service

[JohnH86]

I've setup winrun4j to run as an exe and leave managing the service to a wix installer. Not sure if this is an issue or something that's not supported. Looks like the exe isnt communicating with the service control manager and times out when i start the service.

My ini (hardcoded paths will be removed soon):

main.class=com.anca.util.secureloader.SecureClassLoader

classpath.1=C:\JavaService\ServerInstallers\CommonLib\SourceFiles\toolroomsecure.jar
classpath.2=C:\JavaService\ServerInstallers\CommonLib\SourceFiles\postgresql-9.3-1100.jdbc41.jar
classpath.3=C:\JavaService\ServerInstallers\CommonLib\SourceFiles\jbcl3.1.jar
classpath.4=C:\JavaService\ServerInstallers\CommonLib\SourceFiles\tcldxf.jar

arg.1="C:\JavaService\ServerInstallers\ToolServerInstaller\SourceFiles\tms.jar;C:\JavaService\ServerInstallers\CommonLib\SourceFiles\toolroom.jar"
arg.2=com.anca.appl.products.tms.Tms

My wix service:

<Component Id="ToolServiceComponent" Guid="..."  Directory="INSTALLFOLDER">
      <File Id="ToolServiceFile" Name="ToolServer.exe" KeyPath="yes" Source="SourceFiles\ToolServer.exe" />

      <ServiceInstall Id='ToolServiceInstall' DisplayName='...' Name='ToolService'
        ErrorControl='normal' Start='auto' Type='ownProcess' Vital='yes' Description='...' />

      <ServiceControl Id='ToolServiceControl' Name='ToolService'
         Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall' />

    </Component>

@JohnH86 Did you get this resolved? I'm not suing Wix but I am looking into winrunj as a replacement for launch4j specifically so I can create Windows services out of the binary without using a wrapper tool such as NSSM. Are you saying that the binaries produced by winrunj are not suitable to call directly via a windows service?
