I'm writing an installer that installs a service which depends on the VC2005 runtime libraries. I'm including the runtime's .msm files using <Merge> and <MergeRef> which works just fine. However at the time when the StartServices action gets triggered the SxS stuff obviously is not yet in place and my service fails to start.
The only solution I came up with is to not start the service during install and ScheduleReboot after InstallFinalize. After the reboot the service starts fine automatically. But a reboot is not acceptable for this product :( Is there a way to schedule the StartServices action after InstallFinalize ? If not - Could I include the vcredist_x86.exe binary into my installer and run it automatically first ? How would I do that? Many Thanks for any hints!
