Hey thanks guys for the quick responses. This means branching three ways at the moment which means quite a bit of code duplication (I've already started down the route recommended). Auto, Manual and Disabled being the three options (translating to auto, demand, and disabled).
I'm gearing up for the next part of this which is to allow a user/password combo with a default of LocalSystem which has no password being passed. Does this mean I am going to be branching six ways if I use option 1? Or can I pass an empty/null password without error to the service install options? ____ Rob "Be passionate in all you do" http://devlicio.us/blogs/rob_reynolds http://ferventcoder.com http://twitter.com/ferventcoder On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 1:03 PM, Christopher Painter <chr...@iswix.com>wrote: > > > Other then the mutually exclusive definitions of the service, the next two > best tricks that I know are: > > 1) Override with a registry setting > > 2) Use a custom action to dynamically author the ServiceInstall table at > install time using TEMPORARY sql rows. > > ---------------------------------------- > From: "Rob Reynolds" <ferventco...@gmail.com> > Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:54 PM > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [WiX-users] How to pass an enumeration as a variable?
