Hi All,

The issue which i was facing from long time is sequencing deletion and
installation of features in Install execute sequence on Change option.

*Scenario:*
I have 2 features(both are services), and i'm following below steps for
getting top on to my issue:

1. Install only one feature lets say FE_1 and complete installation. verify
whether service has started or not.
2. Run the installer again.
3. We will get 3 options Repair, Remove and Change. Now choose "Change"
option.
4. Deselect previously choosen feature that is FE_1 (I mean we want it to be
uninstalled) and select FE_2 for installation.
5. Complete the installation and verify service has started or not. We could
see that FE_1's service is uninstalled and FE_2's service is installed. But
we will not be able to start it.

*Problem I found is:* (All the files and intact, i.e., none of files
required for FE_2 are removed)
1st FE_2 is being installed and the FE_1 is uninstalled. On doing this it is
removing some links that start the service.

*Workaround:*
Just re-run the installer and choose repair. We could see that FE_2 starts
without any issues.

*Required Solution:*
How can we execute a sequence in the above scenario such that FE_1 is
uninstalled 1st and the FE_2 is installed 2nd.

*Note:*
*Above mentioned change option is left for WIX to handle.*
Please do the needful as soon as possible.

With Regards,
Vijay Chander
