Does this happen on an upgrade or a new install? I find this often happens on upgrade if the service hasn't stopped (my iTunes install does this on every upgrade).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist? OK, thanks Neil! Perhaps you can assist me with a different issue I'm having with WiX; I'm installing an unmanaged c++ windows service, using the standard MSI InstallServices action (in wix, "ServiceInstall" element). Right after "InstallServices" I have a custom action that sets this service's start type according to an installation parameter. This action is written in c++, and uses the standard API function: ChangeServiceConfig. Now for some reason, on windows 2012 only, the service is installed in "Disabled" mode, and the ChangeServiceConfig function fails with the error: "The specified service has been marked for deletion.". This causes my installation to fail and rollback. The question is - what's the issue with the service installation? The log seems to say that the action completed OK: "Action ended 17:45:13: InstallServices. Return value 1." Thanks, Gabi. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: יום ה 22 מאי 2014 17:45 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist? There isn't any way to force part of an msi to run first. Could you rebuild whatever it is you are calling to make it not require the VC runtime.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist? It is too big a change, is there a way to force the merge modules to be installed first? They are gathered as 1 "Feature", and my entire product is another "Feature". And it seems that you're correct - it's not the CA that requires the VC, it is my program (which the CA executes). I guess I'll bundle it with the VC exe install in the next version, but for now - I need a small, safe, easy, quick solution :) Thanks, Gabi. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: יום ה 22 מאי 2014 17:19 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist? I'd suggest you need a bundle which installs the vcredist first (using the exe version) and then runs your msi. (It is not CAQuietExec that requires VC I would assume it is whatever you are running with it.)

In a machine without VCRedist, I get the following error: MSI (s) (D8:C8) [14:31:44:359]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIBA1E.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec CAQuietExec: CAQuietExec: ?????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????4??????????????????????????????????????????4???????????????????????????????????????????>???????+????????????????????????? CAQuietExec: Error 0xe0434352: Command line returned an error. CAQuietExec: Error 0xe0434352: CAQuietExec Failed Installing the VC++ 2008 redistributable solves it. Obviously I have the VC 2008 in my installation (as merge modules, gathered under a Feature element), as my product requires them too. So - how come they aren't installed in time for CAQuietExec? How can I set it so they will be installed first, so that the CA won't fail?
