Hi All,
I've got a problem with the evaluation of transitive components. We need to
install services as being automatic or manual depending on another
installation, we've got a property called STANDBY if the other product is
installed.
To get a situation where the service is installed auto or manual depending
on the property, we create two components with the same file and service but
with different serviceinstall and servicecontrol elements. I set the
transitive bit for those components to true. Now when we do a new install,
we get the right service installation. But when we do a minor upgrade, it
doesn't reevaluate the condition of the components, even though they are
transitive. The code looks like the following:
<Component Id="Service.exe" Guid="AC9DCC75-1977-4027-9653-CEE210CFE33E"
Directory="RECORDERFOLDER" Win64="no" Transitive="yes">
<Condition>NOT STANDBY</Condition>
<File
Source="$(sys.SOURCEFILEDIR)..\..\bin\Service.exe" KeyPath="yes"/>
<ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstall"
Name="Service"
Start="auto"
ErrorControl="normal"
Type="ownProcess"
DisplayName=" Service"
Description="Service"
Vital="yes">
<ServiceDependency Id="MySQL" Group="no"/>
</ServiceInstall>
<ServiceControl Id="Service.start"
Name="Service"
Start="install"
Stop="uninstall"
Remove="uninstall"
Wait="yes"/>
</Component>
<Component Id="Service.exe.manual"
Guid="8744B1D5-07FD-4805-9F24-EA7F9FF3CC19" Directory="RECORDERFOLDER"
Win64="no" Transitive="yes">
<Condition>STANDBY</Condition>
<File Id="Service.exe.manual"
Source="$(sys.SOURCEFILEDIR)..\..\bin\Service.exe" KeyPath="yes"/>
<ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstall.manual"
Name="Service"
Start="demand"
ErrorControl="normal"
Type="ownProcess"
DisplayName="Service"
Description="Service"
Vital="yes">
<ServiceDependency Id="MySQL" Group="no"/>
</ServiceInstall>
<ServiceControl Id="Service.stop"
Name="CybertechArchiveService"
Stop="both"
Remove="uninstall"
Wait="no"/>
</Component>
We use the properties REINSTALLMODE="vmos" REINSTALL=ALL for the minor
upgrade.
Is there a better way to conditionally install the services with other
settings? Or is there an easier way to do this?
Regards,
Jeffrey Bindinga
