Can someone tell me the best way to conditionally determine whether a service is started based on user input. I have added a checkbox 'Start Service' to the VerifyReadyDialog and want to use that selection to condition whether the service is started or not.
My ServiceControl element looks like this <ServiceControl Id='TyrellForwarderService' Name='Tyrell Forwarder' Start='install' Stop='both' Remove='uninstall' Wait='yes'/> The start property only has enum values of install/uninstall/both so I don't see how I can use a property value here as it won't be recognised as a valid value. As you will know removing the start property stops the service from starting. So somehow I need to be able to condition the removal of the start property. Also, if I manually edit the MSI and add a condition to the StartServices InstallExecuteSequence row of And INSTALLSERVICE = 1 it works. So the question is - what is the best way to achieve this. Can I define two ServiceControl elements with different ID's and pick one at runtime somehow? Alternatively how do I set a condition on an InstallExecuteSequence row via WIX? Any advice on the best way to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to get my head around both WIX and MSI's in general so I may be taking the wrong approach completely.
