I am unsuccessfully trying to get my installer to configure the recovery options for my Windows service. I am using the WIX ServiceConfigFailureActions element and the Failure element(s). The only Failure action that works for myself is runCommand. If I use restartService or restartComputer; then msiexec.exe errors with error 5 and error 1939.
I am using msiexec.exe version V 5.0.7601.17514 Other WIX users have had similar problems (http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg35486.html) but it appears that there has not been a fix. Some users have speculated that it is a problem internal to Windows. Here is my ServiceInstall element: <ServiceInstall Id="ServiceInstallID" Name="LPDS Service" DisplayName="LaserPro Document Service" Description="Allows LaserPro Document Service to be used as a web service." Interactive="no" ErrorControl="ignore" Start="auto" Type="ownProcess" Vital="no" > <ServiceConfig FailureActionsWhen="failedToStopOrReturnedError" OnInstall="yes" OnReinstall="yes" OnUninstall="yes" /> <ServiceConfigFailureActions OnInstall="yes" OnReinstall="yes" OnUninstall="yes" ResetPeriod="86400" Command="c:\foo.bat"> <Failure Action="runCommand" Delay="1000"/> <Failure Action="restartService" Delay="2000"/> </ServiceConfigFailureActions> </ServiceInstall> Error from msiexec.exe installation log file: MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:136]: Executing op: CacheSizeFlush(,) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:136]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=InstallServices,Description=Installing new services,Template=Service: [2]) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:142]: Executing op: ProgressTotal(Total=1,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=1300000) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:143]: Executing op: ServiceInstall(Name=LPDS Service,DisplayName=LaserPro Document Service,ImagePath=C:\LPDS\CFI\Service.exe,ServiceType=32,StartType=2,ErrorControl=32768,,Dependencies=[~],,,Password=**********,Description=Allows LaserPro Document Service to be used as a web service.,,) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:771]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=MsiConfigureServices,,) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:771]: Executing op: ProgressTotal(Total=1,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=1300000) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:771]: Executing op: ServiceConfigure(,Name=LPDS Service,Event=5,ConfigType=4,Argument=1) MSI (s) (A0:F8) [08:21:16:771]: Changing configuration of service LPDS Service.
