Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.7 - ServiceInstall and ServiceControl sample
Do you know how you are supposed to install Tomcat as a service? If that -install option is what actually installs Tomcat as an NT service, then you shouldn't be using ServiceInstall because that installs it as a service too. --- Phil Wilson On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 9:06 AM, Pavan Konduru pavan.kond...@accelrys.com wrote: Put the arguments under quot, something like this: Arguments=quot;//IS//Tomcat7 -DisplayName 'Apache Tomcat7' -Install 'c:\tomcat\bin\tomcat7.exe' --Jvm=auto --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --StartClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams=start --StopClass=org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StopParams=stopquot;/ Also paste the log from where the service is being created, it will help! --Pavan -Original Message- From: Eric Chaland [mailto:echal...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2014 8:25 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix 3.7 - ServiceInstall and ServiceControl sample Hello, I'm starting to use Wix to create an installer for our application.
