Trying to uninstall a non-existant service uses a pop box
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: DAEMON-143
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-143
Project: Commons Daemon
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Procrun
Affects Versions: 1.0.1
Environment: Don't know which version Tomcat 6.0.18 (see #DAEMON-142 )
Reporter: David Newcomb
Priority: Minor
service install Tomcat
--> The service 'Tomcat' has been installed.
service install Tomcat
--> Failed installing 'Tomcat' service
service remove Tomcat
--> The service 'Tomcat' has been removed
service remove Tomcat
--> The service 'Tomcat' has been removed there is also a pop-up dialogue
showing "The specified service does not exists as an installed service. Unable
to delete Tomcat service"
In the first case the failure is met with an error message, whereas in the
second case the failure is met with an error message and a pop-up.
This has made it impossible to use tomcat6.exe to add Tomcat as a service from
within an installer.
The problem is that there is nothing to tell you if it is already installed as
a service. Installing fails if it already exists, updating fails if it doesn't
exist and deleting gives you a horrible pop up message from deep inside your
installer. So there are 2 options. 1) delete serviced, add service and put put
with the fact that the first time you are going to get the pop up or 2) have
another entry in the registry (or marker somewhere) that tells you what state
you are in.
Can we change it so that Update does an install if the service doesn't exist.
Otherwise what can I do.
My bug has begun to sound like a support question, but I do think there is a
real change to be made. I'm also unclear as to whether this issue should be
reported against Tomcat or procrun so please forgive me if it's in the wrong
place.
