Those messages come from the 1.3x Bacula-fd.exe. The new version doesn't display them. But during an upgrade the old one is used to uninstall the existing service.

After some fifteen tries to install and uninstall bacula in various ways i've decided to go the with the merest: 1. stop the service 2. replace the binary files 3. start the service again. as far as i've tested this, it works completely fine, and you do not have to play with nullsoft installers. I would like however to add some comments on the installers. Installer (as well as uninstaller) shows way to much messages which do not require any reaction form the user. For instance, why do we need that "service was successfully installed (removed)" message? I believe there should only be one saying, that service install failed, in case that happens. If (un)installer wouldn't have this irritating feature, it'd be easy to push new versios using the original installers, since the /S switch takes care of pretty much all the rest.
