Hi


I'm working on an installer that is supposed to install a Windows service
under a user account. The user account and the password for this user
account is prompted in a dialog box and is passed to the ServiceInstall
element in WIX. We use major upgrades to make it easy to install over a
previous installation and we schedule  RemoveExistingProducts phase after
InstallFinalize.



The problem is that we need to upgrade the service but we want to do it so
that we can retrieve the account username and password without prompting
the user for a username and password. The product which we intend to
upgrade has already shipped so we cannot encrypt and store the user account
and password during the baseline installation and use it during upgrade. In
short, we want to upgrade without overwriting the service configuration
(account username and password, for instance). Is there a mechanism in WIX
via which this can be done?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Meera
