Hi all,
first email to this list. I have no experience of installers, Wix and
what have you. I have managed so far by getting help by googling and
also by some helpful individuals but now I am stuck.
I have a C# Windows Service project. I have a Install Shield 2011
Express project for installing this Windows Service. Because IS2011 do
not directly support such installations I have made a Merge Module in
Wix which I install via the IS2011 project.
The final IS2011 installer has been working well (Windows 2003, Windows
2008 R2, Windows XP).
I have since realized I need to add dependencies and recovery options
for this Windows service. This I did by adding the elements :
- ServiceDependency
- ServiceConfig
- ServiceConfigFailureActions
- util:ServiceConfig
I tried installing on a Windows Server 2003 32-bit and it worked OK. All
properties were set for the service as expected.
Installing on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 I get this error message:
"Error 1939. Service 'xyz' (xyz) could not be configured. This could be
a problem with the package or your permissions. Verify that you have
sufficient privileges to configure system services."
This is the portion of the XML file concerning the Windows Service:
<ServiceInstall Id="installWS" Name="xyz" DisplayName="xyz"
Description="abc" Start="auto" Type ="ownProcess" ErrorControl ="normal"
Vital="yes">
<ServiceConfig DelayedAutoStart="yes" OnInstall="yes"/>
<util:ServiceConfig FirstFailureActionType="restart"
SecondFailureActionType="restart" ThirdFailureActionType="restart"
RestartServiceDelayInSeconds="60" />
<ServiceConfigFailureActions OnInstall="yes">
<Failure Action="1" Delay="20000"/>
</ServiceConfigFailureActions>
<ServiceDependency Id="MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS"/>
</ServiceInstall>
<ServiceControl Id="controlWS" Name="xyz" Remove="both"
Stop ="both" Start="install" Wait ="yes"/>
By blocking/removing these elements the installation works fine on the
Windows Server 2008 R2.
- ServiceConfig
- ServiceConfigFailureActions
- util:ServiceConfig
After installation if done, I can then open up the Windows service "xyz"
and manually set the recovery for the service to "restart" without any
error messages.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Jerra
