Hi Alain, because I register the service through a vb script, and there's some other things the script does before registering it using CreateServiceForApplication and I dont want to make any changes to the script.
Is there any way to either terminate the process before uninstall, or make sure the uninstall custom action (that does the unregistering etc..) gets called before this filesinuse dialog box shows up? I'm trying this but it seems to run the custom uninstall action for a "repair" too .. otherwise I'm getting it to run before the filesinUse dialog shows up by just a check for Installed <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="RunInstallScript" After="InstallFiles" >NOT Installed</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='BeforeUninstall' Before='InstallValidate'>Installed </Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> <CustomAction Id="RunInstallScript" ExeCommand="cmd /c install-solidfireprovider.cmd" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" Execute="deferred" Return="check"/> <CustomAction Id="BeforeUninstall" ExeCommand="cmd /c uninstall-solidfireprovider.cmd" Directory="INSTALLFOLDER" Execute="immediate" Return="check"/> I can't use REMOVE="ALL" as that would get sequenced after the installvalidate action, right ? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/stop-a-service-before-uninstall-tp7588564p7588568.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
