It's a known change due to Vista which now uses fusion (.NET) to install the runtimes into WinSxS, with the result that behavior of these Dlls is the same as for assemblies into the GAC - they're not there until the commit. It's an unfortunate step in the wrong direction.

If I install the services without start them on install, everything works fine and I can start the services manually. When I install the services with start on install, the installation works properly in xp and 2003, but vista fails with the error "Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Off course I'm running with administrator privileges and "run as administrator" option. After work arrount it, I found that if I install the vcredist before launch my kit, the installation succeed without any change. Here goes the questions: 1) Why the merge modules are not completely installed when the service is being started, even if they are in the first installed feature? It looks like they are installed after InstallFinalize and I can't move StartServices after that. 2) If this is a known problem, I tried to skip starting services if the OS is vista using <InstallExecuteSequence> <StartServices Suppress="yes">VersionNT = 600</StartServices> </InstallExecuteSequence> but it do not respect the condition and it don't let start the services on any OS. Is there something wrong with this configuration? Any suggestions will be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Services-depending-on-VC%2B%2B-merge-modules-don%27t-start-on-Vista-tp17150354p17150354.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
