Hello,
I have an in-house developed windows service that's written in VB.NET
and targets the .NET 4.0 framework. I'm trying to install it using
wix, as I am doing with several other in-house developed windows
services.
This service has a ProjectInstaller.vb. Inside the
InitializeComponent sub in that ProjectInstaller.vb, it is adding 3
custom performance counters. When I install the service on my local
Win7 x64 dev machine using installutil, it works just fine. Using the
wix-generated msi to install the service on the Win2003 x32 server, I
get a "The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it
has to be initialized as ReadOnly" error when the I run the service
and it tries to access the custom performance counters.
I open perfmon and I see that the performance counters aren't there on
the Win2003 x32 server, so I'm pretty sure that's what my problem is.
Is there anyway to get the wix installer to run the
InitializeComponent in the ProjectInstaller.vb?
Here's a snippet of the Product.wxs:
<Component Id="ATComponent"
Guid="{FF5469B9-F664-444C-A8BC-4AD92973201E}">
<File Id="MyCompanyMyService" Name="MyCompanyMyService.exe"
Source="..\..\..\Binaries\" KeyPath="yes" />
<File Id="Config" Name="MyCompanyMyService.exe.config"
Source="..\..\..\Binaries\" KeyPath="no" />
<ServiceInstall Id="ATInstaller"
Type="ownProcess"
Vital="yes"
Name="ServiceName"
DisplayName="MyCompany My
Service Name"
Description="Performs a
service."
Start="auto"
Account="LocalSystem"
ErrorControl="ignore"
Interactive="no">
</ServiceInstall>
<ServiceControl Id="StartService" Stop="both"
Remove="uninstall" Name="ServiceName" Wait="yes" />
</Component>
Thanks
