Hi Ana,
I found a file after I emailed you, and I have these entries in the
<binaries> block:
<!-- Install support file. Includes methods to check
Framework verison etc. -->
<binary name="MSVBDPCADLL"
value="references/external/Microsoft/dpca.dll" />
<!-- config file for InstallUtilLib -->
<binary name="VSDNETCFG"
value="references/external/Microsoft/dpapp.config" />
The files referenced are installed with Visual Studio in the
Common7\Tools\Deployment folder
Cheers,
Bill

Hi Ana,
It's a long time since I've done this, and I haven't got any examples
handy unfortunately, but what you basically need to do is write a custom
action to call the installer class in the assembly. The simple cheat for
this is to create your MSI using the vdproj project, then open the
generated msi with orca and see the custom actions created. There should
be 4 custom actions in total for a service - a type 1025 and a type 51 for
install and the same for uninstall. You can use the <customaction>
element in the msi task schema to generate the correct entries in the
custom actions table of your msi file. You will also need to add entries
to the sequence table to execute the action. I seem to remember these
need to be post install actions as the service's assembly isn't on the
disk until after the commit.
The other "gotcha" if I remember correctly is that you need to use the
forceid option on the components and provide hard coded GUIDs to prevent
the msi task generating random ones as you need these for the custom
actions and you can't get hold of the auto-generated ones.
The other (slightly more involved) option is to use the ServiceControl and
ServiceInstall tables and write the entries directly without using the
Installer class in .NET. Unfortunately, these tables are not part of
schema that ships with the <msi> task, so you would have to sue the
<tables> element to define them yourself. It does, however, give you more
control, especially over starting and stopping services on install and
uninstall.
HTH,
Bill

Subject: [NAnt-users] Custom Action for service install
I'm writing an installer that needs to install a Windows service.
I had created a vdproj to install it, but it's a bit limited (and not
directly callable from NAnt) so I'm moving it to use the <msi> task. I
have everything set up and working except installing and un-installing the
service. The question is how should I do this?
Cheers,
Ana
