You don't call rollback function from your script. Just return number 3 as exit code from the function and installer will do what it needs to do. More information on custom action exit codes: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371254(VS.85).aspx Regards, Alex -Original Message-

If MSI does not allow it, you can't do it with Wix. Read more about Merge Modules (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369820(VS.85).aspx). Excerpt from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371152(VS.85).aspx: Referencing Features in Merge Modules Merge modules only operate with comp

I'm not sure why you are using that commit custom action to start a service, the servicecontrol element should give you that control. Have you built and ran your service on a Vista box yet? Also, if you use the servicecontrol element, you can also use the MSI log to see what the Win32 error cod
