Bug #: 51496 Summary: NSIS - Warn that duplicate service name will result in install failure Product: Tomcat 7 Version: trunk Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Packaging AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: knst.koli...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified It was noticed on the users list, that it is not possible to install two copies of Tomcat with the same service name. http://markmail.org/message/rcmayrkydamywbpw It would be preferable to check for a duplicate name before starting the installation, but I do not know of a way to check existing service names in installer. Is there an API method, or maybe we can look up in the Registry? It looks that when this error occurs it is too late to go back to the configuration pages, or to specify a different name. At least we can tweak text of the message that appears. The current text is: "Failed to install Tomcat7 service. Check your settings and permissions. Ignore and continue anyway (not recommended)?" abort|retry|ignore -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
