Dear all,
In my wix configuration file I install a windows service given account
information through the GUI and filling some properties (SERVICE_DOMAIN,
SERVICE_USERNAME, and SERVICE_PASSWORD). Here the snippet:
<Component Id="InstallService" Guid="963a08e5-73dd-4607-c705-2036c4124eab">
<File Id="Abba.exe" Source="$(var.PATH)/Abba.exe" KeyPath="yes"></File>
<ServiceInstall
Id="Abba"
Type="ownProcess"
Vital="yes"
Name="Abba"
DisplayName="Abba"
Description="Abba Service"
Start="auto"
Account="[SERVICE_DOMAIN]\[SERVICE_USERNAME]"
Password="[SERVICE_PASSWORD]"
ErrorControl="normal"
Interactive="no" />
<ServiceControl
Id="Abba"
Name="Abba"
Remove="uninstall"
Start="install"
Stop="both"
Wait="yes" />
</Component>
It works fine for install and uninstall.
My problem is that when I have to update the package (a minor upgrade with
msiexec /i "Abba.msi" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus) the service is stopped
correctly, the service executable substituted but not restarted due to
"incorrect privileges".
At that moment I can see that service is installed but stopped (as I expected)
and account info untouched but there are problem to restart it... (of course if
I reinstall the new package from scratch, it works fine).
I supposed that my account properties are not kept but service is not
completely uninstalled so service account information are not lost.
MSI log created during upgrade says useless information:
MSI (s) (90:5C) [18:08:45:732]: Executing op:
ServiceInstall(Name=Abba,DisplayName=Abba,ImagePath="C:\Program
Files\Abba.exe",ServiceType=16,StartType=2,ErrorControl=32769,,,,StartName=\,Password=**********,Description=Abba
Service)
MSI (s) (90:5C) [18:08:45:732]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: Error
...
Can someone give me a tip on this, please?
Thanks,
Nic
