heat - wix HeatDirectory ServiceInstall

Question

I'm using HeatDirectory to create source .wxs file. In the pickup directory there is an exe which should be installed as service. Actually I know how to install service if I create component myself, but I don't know how to include ServiceInstall in auto generated component. Is there any suggestion?

        <HeatDirectory DirectoryRefId="Guardian" OutputFile="SourceGuardianSource.wxs" Transforms="Filter.xsl" Directory="..SetupC24.GuardianinDebug" PreprocessorVariable="var.GuardianPath" ComponentGroupName="GuardianGroup" ToolPath="$(WixToolPath)" SuppressCom="true" SuppressFragments="true" SuppressRegistry="true" SuppressRootDirectory="true" AutoGenerateGuids="true" GenerateGuidsNow="false">
    </HeatDirectory>

It'll be good to get something like the following code auto generated:

        <ComponentRef Id="cmp70BEDA00F3161F3FB5E847EB1136B1D5">
                        <ServiceInstall

                              Name="C24.Guardian"

                            <util:PermissionEx

                        </ServiceInstall>

                        <ServiceControl Id="StopGuardianService" Name="C24.Guardian" Stop="both" Wait="yes" Remove="uninstall" />

As an alternative to the method described by @sttaq, what I usually do is filter out the .exe files and manage them manually. You're already filtering your heat output with an xsl file (Filter.xsl), so it should be easy to add a rule to filter out any *.exe file.

<!--Match and ignore .exe files-->
<xsl:key name="exe-search" match="wix:Component[contains(wix:File/@Source, '.exe')]" use="@Id"/>
<xsl:template match="wix:Component[key('exe-search', @Id)]"/>
<xsl:template match="wix:ComponentRef[key('exe-search', @Id)]"/>

And then, in your .wxs file, you can manually author the .exe file component including your service installer, icons, or anything you may need. Just remember to put it inside the right Directory:

  <Fragment>
    <DirectoryRef Id="dirA9BC717C5B7BCAAF2B4C1161965AD894">
      <Component Id="ExecFileComponent" Guid="YOUR-GUID-HERE">
        <RemoveFile Id="RemoveLogFiles" Name="*.svclog" On="both"/>
        <File Id="ExecFile" Source="$(exefile)" KeyPath="yes" />
        <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstallation" DisplayName="displayname" Name="name" ErrorControl="normal" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes">
          <util:PermissionEx
            User="Everyone"
            GenericAll="yes"
            ServiceChangeConfig="yes"
            ServiceEnumerateDependents="yes"
            ChangePermission="yes"
            ServiceInterrogate="yes"
            ServicePauseContinue="yes"
            ServiceQueryConfig="yes"
            ServiceQueryStatus="yes"
            ServiceStart="yes"
            ServiceStop="yes" />
        </ServiceInstall>
        <ServiceControl Id="ServiceControl" Name="name" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" />
      </Component>
    </DirectoryRef>
  </Fragment>
