Sounds to me a lot like the symptoms of Component Rules violations. Are there any common files, registry keys, etc. between feature1 & feature2? If so have you duplicated the code for them? What's a verbose log show when you do the Change operation? Does it try to start the service & fail or doesn't it even try?

Hi All, The issue which i was facing from long time is sequencing deletion and installation of features in Install execute sequence on Change option. *Scenario:* I have 2 features(both are services), and i'm following below steps for getting top on to my issue: 1. Install only one feature lets say FE_1 and complete installation. verify whether service has started or not. 2. Run the installer again. 3. We will get 3 options Repair, Remove and Change. Now choose "Change" option. 4. Deselect previously choosen feature that is FE_1 (I mean we want it to be uninstalled) and select FE_2 for installation. 5. Complete the installation and verify service has started or not. We could see that FE_1's service is uninstalled and FE_2's service is installed. But we will not be able to start it. *Problem I found is:* (All the files and intact, i.e., none of files required for FE_2 are removed) 1st FE_2 is being installed and the FE_1 is uninstalled. On doing this it is removing some links that start the service. *Workaround:* Just re-run the installer and choose repair. We could see that FE_2 starts without any issues. *Required Solution:* How can we execute a sequence in the above scenario such that FE_1 is uninstalled 1st and the FE_2 is installed 2nd. *Note:* *Above mentioned change option is left for WIX to handle.* Please do the needful as soon as possible.
