Generally, I put my service authoring in the same component as the File element referencing the service binary. That way, the KeyPath is the service binary, and I don't have these issues.

We have not set a KeyPath so I guess Wix is choosing one, but looking at the component table in InstEd the KeyPath is null for this component. The machine (A) that is actioning the component I have found has been through a few product upgrades whereas the other (B) is a clean install. Would MigrateFeatureStates be causing the component to be reaction-ed? <Component Id="COMPONENTNAME" Guid="{085BDB56-E445-40A0-BEDA-4D35C1A7C6EF}" Directory="INSTALLDIR"> <CreateFolder/> <Condition>OLDAPPFOUND</Condition> <ServiceControl Id="sclMU_svcName" Name="svcName" Stop="install" Remove="install" Wait="yes" /> </Component> Thanks, V. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Patching-and-null-KeyPath-tp7598944p7598953.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
