Subject: [WiX-users] Problem installing a .NET installer-based service using
InstallUtilLib.dll
Hi,
I am working on a Visual Studio WiX project to install a .NET installer-based
service using InstallUtilLib.dll/ManagedInstall. I was following the
instructions in the following link.
http://blog.vagmim.com/2004/09/installing-windows-services-created.html
The preceding link uses InstallUtilLib.dll from .NET version 1.0 whereas I am
using InstallUtilLib.dll from .NET version 2.0.
When I tried to install the generated msi on a Vista machine, I got "Error
2869: The dialog ErrorDlg has the error style bit set, but is no an error
dialog".
When I tried to install on an XP machine, I got "InstallUtilLib.dll: Unknown
error". I am attaching the verbose logs from both installation instances.
I looked into the logs and also searched around in online forums but I can't
seem to find a way to fix these errors by manipulating my WiX input.
While I know that the author of the above link and Rob Mensching don't
recommend installing services using a managed code custom action, I have no
choice at the moment. :( Could someone please be kind with me and tell me what
I could do to get my msi to install correctly? I am also attaching my WiX
source and the config file used by InstallUtilLib.dll
Sincerely,
Raz Magar
