If I run the MSI, event log is not showing that the services were started or stopped. It is just showing the installation completed successfully. In fact, if I run net stop "XYZ AdminConsole" from command prompt, the event viewer is showing the service stopped successfully. Thanks! Richard-45

Re: [WiX-users] Trying to preserve installation location

Personally, I would just read the 4 pages in the MSI SDK on Upgrades a few times. I think you only care about Major Upgrades and I think most of hte information is captured in one single page in the SDK. But it is up to you. If you don't like MSI, you won't like WiX since all WiX does is bui

This happens if your MSI requires the original source media for some reason during uninstall. Usually, it's some coding error that causes this problem. Look in the verbose log file and see what is causing the source prompt. Davut Karabay wrote: > Hi, > > I run my insaller (e.g. msiexec /i XYZ

Yup, there are differences in the table definition for WixFile between the two wixouts. It's because my base image wixout was generated by the old Wix build, and the new wixout has an additional PatchAttributes column in the WixFile table. Thank you for your help! Justin From: Peter Marcu Sen
