-----Original Message----- From: Marty Offe [mailto:marty.o...@harlandfs.com] Sent: 17 December 2012 16:44 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How do to configure a Windows service to "Restart the Service" upon failure? I am *not* able to get msiexec.exe to set the recovery option of my Windows service to "Restart the Service". Wix 3.6 documentation suggests that I can use ServiceConfigFailureActions to accomplish this. 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> I am using msiexec.exe version V 5.0.7601.17514 Error from 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,ErrorCon trol=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.
