I am trying to start the RemoteRegistry service on a Win7 machine using
the ServiceControl element.
The service initially has a Startup Type of Disabled.
My code simply looks like...
<Component Id='RemoteRegistryServiceComponent' Guid='MY-GUID'>
<ServiceControl Id='RemoteRegistryServiceControl'
Name='RemoteRegistry' Start='install' Stop='both' Wait='no'>
</ServiceControl>
<Condition>VersionNT = 601</Condition>
<CreateFolder/>
</Component>
I am logged in as an administrator on the target machine.
When I run my installer on the target machine it fails and pops up a
message saying "Service 'Remote Registry' (RemoteRegistry) failed to
start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system
processes." I figure that this is not about privileges as I'm an admin,
but more about the startup type being disabled. If I manually go into
the Service Control Manager and change the startup type to manual or
auto I'm able to start the service through the installer.
Ideally I'd like to change the startup type to auto through the
installer so it starts on subsequent reboots of the OS but because this
is an existing windows service I am not performing a ServiceInstall and
so cannot set the Startup Type there.
I have tried using <ServiceArgument> but really don't understand how to
format it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
David
