Another question: I assume that if I were to deploy the CRT locally instead of in WinSxS, that would also solve the problem?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall fails due to CRT Thanks Bob. Is this a Windows Installer restriction, or a Wix thing? My plan is to make the service enter a "boot" mode in which it will start run but not load the assembly with the CRT dependency until it has been signaled (by a CA config file change) that it is safe to start for real. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:b...@joyofsetup.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 1:36 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Assemblies (managed or native, like the CRT native assemblies) are committed during InstallFinalize, which is too late to start services. A custom action is your only option here, assuming it can start the service as a limited user. (After InstallFinalize, CAs can't run with elevated privileges.) -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
