Wix Toolset 3.10
During my installation UI process, I ask the user for the installation
directory of an existing product. I use the executables from this product
in the creation of my shortcuts. This works perfectly as I can use the
variable recuperated from my custom UI dialog in the target specification
of the shortcut:
<Shortcut Id= "Pt3DbCfgStartMenuShortcut"
Name="Configure Databases"
Description="Database Configuration"
Target="[DLCDIR]bin\_progres.exe"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"/>
How can I use the same [DLCDIR]bin\_progres in the creation of a service?
I tried something like this (DLCDIR is later set by the UI dialog):
<Directory Id="DLCDIR" Name='Progress' />
<DirectoryRef Id="DLCDIR">
<Component Id="Pt3AgentService" Guid="MYGUID">
<File Id="Pt3Sct" Name="_progres.exe" Source="bin\_progres.exe"/>
<ServiceInstall Id="pt3Agent_svc" Description="Protop 3 DB Agent
Service"
DisplayName="pt3AgentService"
Name="pt3AgentService" Start="demand" Type="ownProcess"
ErrorControl="normal"/>
<ServiceControl Id="Start_pt3Agent" Name="pt3AgentService"
Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall"
Wait="yes" />
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
ServiceInstall seems to want a Directory parent and light.exe complains
that it cannot find 'bin\_progres.exe'.
