Hello everyone, our product contains multiple services and all use the same .exe file and differ only via their name and command line, where a DLL name is passed that contains the real service code. So the exe file is more or less a reusable framework much like svchost.exe and distinct service functionality is implemented in DLLs. Is it possible to use the WiX ServiceInstall element to install multiple such services from one WiX script or is this simply impossible and I have to resort to a custom action? As far as I see, the File element whose Keypath is set to 'Yes' within the component where the ServiceInstall element resides, is considered the BinaryPath of the service. In my case however, this file element would be the same for different services/components and even worse, other installs that we are about to write in the future will use the same exe file as well so ideally it would be in one component that we reuse across installs.
Any help appreciated, -- Stefan Kuhr -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-the-same-exe-file-for-different-services-in-one-MSI-tp6520212p6520212.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
