Re: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?

2006-11-07 Thread Mike Dimmick
ather than a DLL which uses SvcHost.exe. Windows Installer uses the KeyPath of the component as the ImagePath for the service, as you've discovered. Your best bet may be to find out from the Windows Installer team how you're meant to do this with the ServiceInstall table. It may not be possible.

Re: [WiX-users] Message Queue Help Needed

2006-11-09 Thread Mike Dimmick
I *think* Emma's problem is that using the '.' syntax installs the queue locally for the node that you're running setup on; to make a failover-tolerant queue, you need to use the cluster's name (attached to a virtual shared IP address) in the queue name. That's what isn't working. -- Mike
