I just tried my msi when locked by orca, and when it is on a nw share (I don't manage the nw share, and I have no idea why I cannot open it when it's on that particular share). In both cases i get error 1619. So it's not what I think it might be. I'd guess it's corrupt to. However... http://w

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall not removing service?

Isn't your ServiceControl using a different name than your ServiceInstall? My installer is set to use the same name for both for each given service. Not seeing that consistency with your code, but not 100% sure it's critical. Might be worth a try. Here's an example that works 100% What I'm

It looks like a Name issue to me. I believe the Name values need to be identical - they map to the actual name of the service in the ServiceControl/ServiceInstall tables in the MSI file. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: Josh Pepper [mailto:josh.pep...@microsoft.com] Sent: Wednesd

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall not removing service?

The Name attribute of the ServiceControl element must correspond to the name of the service. http://n2.nabble.com/ServiceInstall-not-removing-service--tp2570445p2571646.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading an older version of product

It's nothing to do with the same user account. It's about the value of the MSI's ALLUSERS property. If you didn't set it before then it defaulted to a per-user install. Your current setup is a per system install with ALLUSERS=1 that will not upgrade the other version. Produce a log while doing

Adam, I wouldn't suggest going about it this way. If there is a change to the way WIX generates the Lib files this could impact you. The XML/Binary format is not documented short of looking through the code itself. However, from a built MSI you could use dark.exe to decompile it into WIX Source.
