I want to install a Windows Service. With installutil.exe it is running fine but with WIX it stands still at "starting service"

<Component Id="CMP_Service" Feature="Core">
        <File Source="$(var.Service.TargetPath)" KeyPath="yes"/>
        <ServiceInstall Id="Service"
                        Name="Service"
                        Description="..."
                        Start="auto"
          Account="[SERVICEACCOUNT]" 
          Password="[SERVICEPASSWORD]"
                        ErrorControl="normal"
                        Type="ownProcess"/>
        <ServiceControl Id="ServiceControllELS"
                        Name="Service"
                        Start="install"
                        Stop="both"
                        Remove="uninstall"
                        Wait="yes" />
      </Component>

I think it is installing the wrong service but don´t know. May someone help me?

also the installed service is not startable – Felix Arnold Nov 13 '19 at 16:19
Most likely it is a password that is incorrect. Please [skim this answer from "Quick Checks" onwards](https://stackoverflow.com/a/55087943/129130). Follow the links to debugging check lists of various sorts. – Stein Åsmul Nov 13 '19 at 19:21
The problem was some old dll´s which were included – Felix Arnold Nov 14 '19 at 10:49
OK, great. Fixed. Were the check lists helpful? Or maybe just the event log helped? – Stein Åsmul Nov 14 '19 at 11:35
I have overwritten every dll with dll´s from the running version and found the old dlls – Felix Arnold Nov 14 '19 at 16:35
