the executable file does not get into the msi

[LazarenkoA]

this is part of my wix.json

  "files": {
    "guid": "378896D8-6749-4821-870A-44CBBB791D0C",
    "items": [
      "service.exe"
    ]
  },
  "directories": [
    "assets"
  ]

service.exe located in the same directory as wix.json, there is one text file in the assets subdirectory. I create an msi, then install this msi, in the directory where the installation was made there is a text file from the assets subdirectory, but there is no exe file. I tried to specify an absolute path in json to files, it didn't help

Windows Installer XML Toolset Linker version 3.11.2.4516

also, when you restart the msi, there is no warning that the program is already installed

It was possible to find out what happens if hooks is set. the hook was taken from an example

 "hooks": [
    {
      "command": "sc.exe create HelperApp binPath=\"[INSTALLDIR]service.exe\" type=share start=auto DisplayName=\"HelperApp\"",
      "when": "install"
    },
    {
      "command": "sc.exe start HelperApp",
      "when": "install"
    },
    {
      "command": "sc.exe delete HelperApp",
      "when": "uninstall"
    }
  ]

it looks like the problem is that I didn't regenerate the guid
