If you say you want to wait for the service startup to complete then MSI takes that to mean you care if it starts, so change the wait type.
Phil Wilson From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Rerick Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 11:26 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Test to see if a service is installed and running All, I am using WiX 3.0.3725. I'm trying to detect if a service is installed and running when my software is installed. I have to stop 2 services; one of the services may not be installed on the target computer [and this is OK]. This works OK - I don't get an error when I try to stop a service that isn't there. Then I remove some files and folders. After the file/folder delete, I need to start the two services up again. If the second service doesn't exist on this computer, that is OK and is not an error condition. Currently, I get an error when the second service can't be started and the install rolls back. I understand why the error happens - I'm trying to unconditionally start the service and it can't be started. I do the service stop, file removal, service start in a Component under the Directory INSTALLDIR element. So I would like to be able to either: 1) Detect if the second service is even installed and if it isn't, then skip starting it or 2) Ignore any errors if the second service can't be started and continue with the install So far, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I've looked at the ServiceControl and StartService/StopService elements. Thanks in advance for any help.
