I took the approach of no longer using the ServiceInstall tag to install the
service. I'm using an evil custom action to call the installed service
executable with a 'register' parameter when the feature is installed, and with
'unregister' when the feature is uninstalled. My desired upgrades

Sounds evident, if I'm not wrong... the answer is in your letter.
Have you tried sequencing it with installexecutesequence (and
adminexecutesequence)?
I mean adding
InstallExecuteSequence
StartServices Sequence=enter_a_sequence_number_big_enough_here /
/InstallExecuteSequence
It should work as
You could try using the quiet exec custom action to run sc start

Let's say I have some features with a ConfigurableDirectory set to a

How are the Directory elements defined? If the Directory element for
ANOTHERDIR is under the Directory element for INSTALLDIR, then changing
INSTALLDIR is expected to change ANOTHERDIR as well.

The installer extracts the dll to the temporary location in order to
call the custom action and then deletes the temp file. The actual error
is in calling the custom action or in the custom action itself.

I have a dialog in which users are going to be entering information. I know I
can use IniFile to write to a file. But I cant use IniFile in a Dialog or UI
so what would be the best way to write this information to a file after the
user enters it?

Hina,
The $(env.Whatever) construct is used to pull a setting from the system
environment at build time.
The Environment element is used to configure an environment setting on
the machine where the installation is performed.
The correct answer will depend on what you are actually trying to

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to specify the source folder at build

Thanks for your reply. I tried it but it gives

I made sure that specified file exists at the specified path. Is there any

Hina,
It sounds as if what you really want is a standard preprocessor
variable.
Try something like this:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
?ifndef HelpSourceFolder?
?define HelpSourceFolder=C:\SomeFolder\Path?
?endif ?
...
File Id='tutorial' Name='tutorial.pdf' DiskId='1'
Thank you.
That helped!!

Hina,
Looks like a small typo - your error indicates ($var.HelpSourceFolder),
the correct format is $(var.HelpSourceFolder). The dollar sign needs to
be outside the parenthesis. :-)
