Thanks for the reply Joe. Here is an excerpt from InstallExecuteSequence. I use a CA to drop the databases (ATDropDB), and at the point the CA is executed the service is no longer running. In fact I watch the services manager, refreshing as the uninstall begins, and the service is stopped early on.
By the way, the ServiceControl table has two entries: MSMQServiceControl, and ATProcessorSC (a service we package with our MSI). I can explain the CAs below if needed. <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action='ATShutDownIIS' After='CostFinalize'><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="1" OR Installed]]></Custom> <Custom Action='ATShutDownProcessor' After='ATShutDownIIS'><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="1" OR Installed]]></Custom> <Custom Action='ATPromptStopServices' After='ATShutDownProcessor'><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="1" OR Installed]]></Custom> <Custom Action="UndeployATdacNet" After="InstallInitialize"><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="1"]]></Custom> <Custom Action="GetATInstallStatus" After="InstallFiles"><![CDATA[1]]></Custom> <!-- GregS at this point during uninstall on Windows 2008 Server, SQL Server service is stopped --> <Custom Action="ATSetDropDB" After="UnpublishFeatures"><![CDATA[AT_DBSERV_SETUP=1 AND (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=2)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATDropDB" After="ATSetDropDB"><![CDATA[AT_DBSERV_SETUP=1 AND (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=2)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATSetDataForMSMQ2" After="ATDropDB"><![CDATA[(!ATXS_AppServ=3) AND (&ATXS_AppServ=2)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATDeleteMSMQ" After="ATSetDataForMSMQ2"><![CDATA[(!ATXS_AppServ=3) AND (&ATXS_AppServ=2)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="PreparingCleanRegistry" After="InstallFiles"><![CDATA[((!ATXS_DaemonServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DaemonServ=2)) OR ((!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=2)) OR ((!ATXS_AppServ=3) AND (&ATXS_AppServ=2))]]></Custom> <Custom Action="CleanRegistry" After="PreparingCleanRegistry"><![CDATA[((!ATXS_DaemonServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DaemonServ=2)) OR ((!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=2)) OR ((!ATXS_AppServ=3) AND (&ATXS_AppServ=2))]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ConfigureSql" After="InstallFiles"><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="0" AND NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATSetDataForDBServ1" After="InstallFiles"><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="0" AND NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATSetDataForDBServ2" After="ATSetDataForDBServ1"><![CDATA[ATINSTALLTYPE="0" AND NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3)]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATRestoreDB" After="ATSetDataForDBServ2"><![CDATA[NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3) AND ATINSTALLTYPE=0 AND VBSCRIPTERROR<>"1"]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATCreateUsers" After="ATRestoreDB"><![CDATA[NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3) AND ATINSTALLTYPE=0 AND VBSCRIPTERROR<>"1"]]></Custom> <Custom Action="SetDBVersion" After="InstallFiles"><![CDATA[NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3) AND ATINSTALLTYPE=0 AND AT_APPSERV_SETUP<>1 AND VBSCRIPTERROR<>"1"]]></Custom> <Custom Action="StartSetDBVersion" After="SetDBVersion"><![CDATA[NOT (!ATXS_DBServ=3) AND (&ATXS_DBServ=3) AND ATINSTALLTYPE=0 AND AT_APPSERV_SETUP<>1 AND VBSCRIPTERROR<>"1"]]></Custom> <!-- end Greg: ADD-LATER 08.13.2008 --> <Custom Action="ATSetDataForMSMQ1" After="GetATInstallStatus"><![CDATA[NOT (!ATXS_AppServ=3) AND (&ATXS_AppServ=3) AND VBSCRIPTERROR<>"1"]]></Custom> <Custom Action="ATConfigureMSMQ" After="ATSetDataForMSMQ1"><![CDATA[NOT (!ATXS_AppServ=3) AND (&ATXS_AppServ=3) AND VBSCRIPTERROR<>"1"]]></Custom> Thanks, Greg > Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:37:34 +1300 > From: joe.os...@tait.co.nz > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall on Windows 2008 Server > > This shouldn't happen.
