Why aren't you using the ServiceInstall element to install your service? If there is any way at all to use it, instead of a CA, I think most of us would strongly recommend it. At the very leat, you'll eaily be able to stop your service before uninstall.

During uninstall, I want to remove this service before the filesinUse dialogbox pops up. My condition is REMOVE="ALL" for the uninstallation script to run, and I read on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371626(v=vs.85).aspx that "any custom action that depends on REMOVE=ALL must be sequenced after the InstallValidate action" Can anyone help me stop the process cleanly through WIX through a custom action before the filesInUse pops up? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/stop-a-service-before-uninstall-tp7588564.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
