I'm using the latest daily build of Wix v3.
I have a windows service I'm installing, and I've found I can do:
<ServiceControl Id="MyServiceCtrl"
Name="MyService"
Stop="both"
/>
To install my service without starting at installation time, or:
<ServiceControl Id="MyServiceCtrl"
Name="MyService"
Stop="both"
Start="install"
/>
To get it to run automatically after installation.
Next, I added a checkbox to a configuration dialog:
<Control Id="StartServiceNow" Type="CheckBox" X="110" Y="120"
Width="330" Height="18" CheckBoxValue="1" Integer="yes"
Property="STARTSERVICEATENDOFINSTALL" Text="Start Service After
Installation"/>
And I tried to modify the <servicecontrol> tag as follows:
<ServiceControl Id="MyServiceCtrl"
Name="MyService"
Stop="both"
Start="[STARTSERVICEATENDOFINSTALL]"
/>
Now I gather I might need to change the values of the checkbox to be
'install' or '', but that seems to miss the point, since it looks like the
wix compiler is rejecting having any variable string at all for the 'Start='
attribute.
Is there some other way I can make starting the service at the end of
install optional?
Lewis.
