I'm not sure how you would run that CA before InstallValidate, since it might
need to be elevated in order to change the filesystem metadata, and deferred
actions cannot be run before InstallValidate.

This seems to be the way, and I assume you'd need to run it as a custom
action. There may be APIs underneath that you can call to shut down the
pool, I don't know.

Okay, I was missing a conditional invocation of the custom action to set the
variable and the variable must be enclosed in [ ] in the setting custom
action. This final code works:

Hi Greg,
I have used this wix element and currently have no issues.
I had something similar problem when doing the development that one of
the installations did not uninstall services correctly and the later
uninstalls did not work correctly. Probably you could try your
installation in
As Edwin says, you didn't get any responses because it looks ok. So:
1. Just as a sanity check, make sure the service hasn't been marked
Disabled. You mention it's stopped, but I just want to distinguish between
"process not running" and its state in the services view.
2. Another sanity check, us
The original post indicated "I have created MSI/EXE using Wix ".
If the '/EXE' implies a Bundle was created, and 'Condition' is used in the
Bundle then also take note that Burn built-in VersionNT and VersionNT64
variables have a different format than the related MSI variables.

Brilliant, Phil, thanks. I'll give it a go!

I've had problems in the past with a service not starting as expected
because of missing dependencies but never a problem uninstalling the
service.
I don't see anything obviously wrong here. I checked the ServiceInstall
and ServiceControl documentation to double check syntax and everything

I am relatively new to Wix and have not used the Service Control
functionality yet, but I have over the years created services and installed
them with setups created by another non-wix setup. So from that
perspective, given your statement "but does not remove the service from the
Services list",
Assuming this is the source of the problem, the Registry element provides the
necessary functionality to remove a registry entry on uninstall (and a bunch of
other capabilities).

I didn't receive any updates from the group on this. Are there issues with
uninstalling a service? I see a number of postings on the web regarding this,
but no real resolutions.

Steven,
I can't commit your code due to copyright issues, so would you be
willing to sign the WiX copyright assignment agreement and upload the
code to wix.codeplex.com you
Thank you for all your help.
Don't know how I missed it but the reason was that the folder I created in
the start menu is using a property and of course on uninstall the property
was empty so it did not know where to delete from. Silly mistake that I
missed.

Thank you for your help, Rob. That was exactly what I needed.
For anyone else who comes across this, make sure you're doing a Minor
upgrade instead of a Major upgrade. Switching to Minor upgrades on the MSI's
made everything work as it should.
