Thanks for your comments, it is good to know it should work. StopServices is before RemoveFiles. Interestingly it also happens on a normal uninstall so a least it is consistent.

So, we will not attempt to stop this service using Restart Manager MSI (s) (6C:2C) [17:29:11:221]: RESTART MANAGER: Detected that the service BarService will be stopped due to a service control action authored in the package before the files are updated. So, we will not attempt to stop this service using Restart Manager MSI (s) (6C:2C) [17:29:11:221]: Note: 1: 2727 2: Action ended 17:29:11: InstallValidate. Return value 1.Are you sure your StopServices action is occurring before RemoveFiles? If this only happens on major upgrade and not a regular uninstall it might be worthwhile to know what is different about the sequence that trips up the above special case logic in RM. -Eric > Date: Tue, 12 May 2009 17:02:39 +0100 > From: n...@x2systems.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Files in use > > Even with it disabled I still think it is used.
