I have a merge module which defines all the components/resources, plus installs and starts a service.
This builds an installer which works during a clean install. When upgrading from a previous version, it attempts to start the service before all the files have been copied (the service depends on those files). How do I get WiX to start the service after the files have been copied?

I am winging it - I am not set up to test this properly at the moment, but here goes:
TARGETDIR and ROOTDRIVE are set to H:. What is that about? What is on your H: drive? Your IIS installation? It looks like C:\ is your system folder.ServiceControl and ServiceInstall tables look like in your compiled MSI file? (Open with Orca or equivalent to check - great if you report the values. Particularly ServiceInstall:ServiceType, and ServiceControl:Event). It has been a while since I installed services, but as I recall only a few options really make sense. I think I always used: create on install, stop and start on install, and stop and delete on uninstall. In other words: try without the delete on install.MSI (s) (BC:D4) [11:46:53:020]: Disallowing installation of component: {6EA4EDA3-FBF8-8B13-1DAA-342C5D7EDCB5} since the same component with higher versioned keyfile exists

I am not sure what to recommend, except help you read the log file properly as you experiment. I did skim your log, and there are several oddities in there - several failed actions. Whenever you make a log file you should always first search for "value 3" as explained by Rob Mensching (WiX creator).
So search for "value 3". Study the errors, and then check these links for interpreting the errors returned:
Annotated_Windows_Installer_Log.pdf file is helpful.This isn't a real answer I suppose, but some links to get you going. Give it a go and let us know what happens so we can "evolve" the answer if there is more info.
