You can add a condition to a custom action of $ProductComponent < 3 and not UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE
to get it to run only when the service component is being removed but not during a major upgrade. If you want it to run during a major upgrade, remove the "and not UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE". -----Original Message----- From: Senthil Chandran [mailto:senth...@microsoft.com] Sent: 25 October 2012 02:07 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] wix uninstall of service Hi, I have a windows service project called MyExe.exe, which takes arguments to its Main method. I created below wix installer project to install my service using ServiceInstall below, everything works fine. What I want to accomplish now is do something on the uninstall of this service. Is there a way in wix to specify a custom action to perform inside MyExe.exe only during the uninstall? I cannot accomplish this task on OnStop, needs to accomplished on uninstall. <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="XXX.YYY"> <Component Id="ProductComponent" Guid="f55665d1-5792-4a35-a77a-c38bdd2bf0ab"> <util:User Id="serviceUser" CreateUser="no" FailIfExists="no" Name="[USER_NAME]" Password="[PASSWORD]" LogonAsService="yes"> </util:User> <File Id="F_XXX_YYY" Name="MyExe.exe" Source="$(var.DropTarget)\" Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes" DiskId="1" /> <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstaller" Type="ownProcess" Vital="yes" Name="XXX.YYY" DisplayName="XXX.YYY" Description="description" Start="auto" Account="[USER_NAME]" Password="[PASSWORD]" ErrorControl="normal" Interactive="no" Arguments=""[LABNAME]" "[LABOWNER]" "[LABDESCRIPTION]" [LABACCESS]"> <util:ServiceConfig FirstFailureActionType="restart" SecondFailureActionType="none" ThirdFailureActionType="none"/> </ServiceInstall> <ServiceControl Id="StartService" Start="install" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" Name="XXX.YYY" Wait="yes" /> </Component> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> Thanks, Senthil. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Everyone hates slow websites.
