The design of the 'old' install would have to be changed to check for the existence of the the new install, which is probably not feasible. I am not aware of anything that can be done in this situation. It is part of the price that is paid in transitioning from one design to a different design.

I'm not sure if it is applicable in your case, but I seem to remember that when debugging both our service and our installer for it that if you crash the OnStart method or the constructor you'll also get error 1923. So it might be useful to instrument your service too and see if you can figure

Depends on what the old install looked like, as far as it's upgrade table. Did the old install allow for downgrades? If not, did you use the same upgrade code in your WiX install as you had in your install shield installer? -Original Message- From: Mike Schuett

Thank you all for your answers. Turns out the issue probably is that service uninstall is not complete. Sometimes the service seems to be stuck in a marked for deletion state for minutes after running msiexec, and this interfered with the reinstallation. 2014-08-05 16:55 GMT+02:00 Rob Mensching

That is a common reason. The underlying issues tend to be: 1. Someone has an open or leaked service handle to the service, and that leaves the service in a disabled state until the handle is closed. If there is code in your install or in a running app that may be doing this, it may be worth
