Hi all,
I have a setup which installs three services:
ServiceA, ServiceB and ManagementService.
ServiceA and ServiceB are in different features but have a dependency on
ManagementService, which lives in its own feature.
SerivceA and ServiceB should be able to start/stop the ManagementService.
So I use this snippet to install the service:
<Component Id="ManagementService" Guid="... ">
<File Source="PathToFile" KeyPath="yes" />
<ServiceInstall Account="LOCALSYSTEM" Id="ManagementService"
DisplayName="ManagementService" Name="ManagementService " Start="demand"
Type="ownProcess" Description="...">
<PermissionEx
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";
User="[SERVICEAPERMISSIONACCOUNT]" ServiceQueryStatus="yes" ServiceStart="yes"
ServiceStop="yes" />
<PermissionEx
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";
User="[SERVICEBPERMISSIONACCOUNT]" ServiceQueryStatus="yes" ServiceStart="yes"
ServiceStop="yes" />
</ServiceInstall>
<ServiceControl Id="ManagementServiceControl " Name="ManagementService"
Remove="uninstall" Stop="both" Wait="no" />
</Component>
Both services use service sids in the form "NT Service\ServiceName".
If I install both features, all is well and the setup succeeds. But if I don't
install ServiceB, the setup fails, because the SERVICEBPERMISSIONACCOUNT
resolves to a principal which does not exist. So I need to put a condition on
the PermissionEx tag. Unfortunately, the PermissionEx can only be put on a
ServiceInstall element.
What would be the correct way to solve this? I didn't find anything on Google
about this.
Kind regards,
Henning
