windows installer - Does anybody have a complete wix configuration example for installing a procrun based Java service? -

i have been working on project need install java service running spring boot application wix installer windows. should autodetect if there jre instance installed globally on system, , if so, use it, otherwise, install private jre application. after looking complete solutions, , working through many different problems, have come configuration works. manually installs service via wix , sets registry keys procrun program needs instead of using procrun install service.

i new site (as submitter), post wix xml created answer. isn't polished, others through hurdles had jump through make work.

here (summarized) wix xml, important pieces in place. had summarize due response size limit. many stack overflow answers point.
