I'm writing an install that installs a service which is dependent on GAC files
that are also being installed.
Reading through the various threads I figured out why my use of ServiceControl
to Start this service wasn't working. The explanation I read was that GAC
files don't get installed until InstallFinalize and ServiceControl's Start
happens before then.
My workaround (based on another message) was to use CAQuietExec to launch a
command line "command /c net start foo.service" in immediate mode after
InstallFinalize. This worked fine on XP.
On Vista, this no longer works. I don't see an error in the log, but the
service never gets started. In various messages, its been stated that custom
actions can't be run as deferred after InstallFinalize on Vista.
Is there a way to start a service that depends on files installed to the GAC on
Vista? Perhaps another way to structure my MSI?
Thanks,
Kevin
