[WiX-users] WIX Service installation

Hello Alexei,

I just stumbled across this posting on the WIX mailing list. I am having a similar problem, only that my installservices action is NEVER executed... so the start service fails. I was wondering if you found a solution on the off chance it is the same problem I'm having. Any help you can offer would be useful... I've chopped out a few relevant piece of the log and my original service install code:

from the wxs:

<ServiceInstall Id='fwfile82' DisplayName='WS Session Manager' Name='WSS'

ErrorControl='normal' Start='auto' Type='ownProcess' Vital='yes' />

<ServiceControl Id='fwfile82' Name='WSS'

Start='install' Stop='uninstall' Remove='uninstall' />

</Component>

from the log file:

...

MSI (s) (08:34) [13:48:46:546]: Doing action: InstallServices
Action 13:48:46: InstallServices. Installing new services
Action start 13:48:46: InstallServices.
Action ended 13:48:46: InstallServices. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (08:34) [13:48:46:561]: Doing action: StartServices

Action ended 13:48:46: StartServices. Return value 1.

...

MSI (s) (08:34) [13:49:28:405]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=StartServices,Description=Starting services,Template=Service: [1])

MSI (s) (08:34) [13:49:28:405]: Executing op: ServiceControl(,Name=WSQ,Action="">StartServices: Service: WSQ
Error 1920. Service 'WSQ' (WSQ) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

As you can see the "Executing op" statement for install servies is missing.

Kind regards

Problem installing service.
2005-06-06 08:55

I wonder if anyone else experienced that recently.I have a project that installs a service and everything worked fine until a couple of daysago. The only thing that changed is MSI 3.0 runtime got installed.Running install with all logging on indicates that during script preparation msiexec seesthat InstallServices should be run. But later on there is no ActionStarted (InstallServices ...) anywhere. Obviously, when it gets to ActionStarted (StartServices ...) thatfails miserably. Trying to schedule InstallServices in InstallExecuteSequence does nothelp.I beleieve it"s either MSI 3.0 bug or there were some changes to services related tablesthat WiX does not know about. If anyone has any idea of what"s going on, please chime in.Beware, MSI 3.0 may break your setup. The problem is that MSI 3.0 is now a Windows XPupdate, so your customers may get it automatically.-- Best regards, Alexei Boukirev mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
