We've got an application that can be upgraded, and it also has two services.
I'd like to be able to preserve the status of the services, so that when I run an update install, I can keep the values of these to be the same as what the user originally had. My thoughts were to create a two Custom Action which runs before "StopServices", and these actions will each query the necessary service and get the StartMode, and set a property. Then, I would use this property in my wix ServiceInstall task as an argument to the Start option. This doesn't work, and Candle gives this error: C:\p4\les.core\9.7.1-branch\tmp\wix_redist\LES_CORE_RELEASE.wxs(329) : error CNDL0022 : The ServiceInstall/@Start attribute's value, '[LES_SERVICE_STARTTYPE]',is not one of the legal options: 'auto', 'demand', or 'disabled'. Is there a way around this, or does anyone have a better idea to prevent me from changing the status of the upgraded service(s) from Manual to Auto? Could I change the condition of the StopService, DeleteService,CreateService, and StartService actions to not run if it's one of my upgade installs?
