Why are you not using the service control element to ensure the service is stopped? http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd%5Cwix%5Cservicecontrol.html -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] Sent: 18 October 2013 13:37 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] returned actual error code 1154 from custom action Hi, I am calling a custom action on uninstall just to ensure that our 5 services are actually stopped before we try to remove them... However I am getting an error that confuses me since everything looks kosher... Anyone see any issues with what I am doing? Here is the error from the log file: MSI (s) (6C:D4) [23:30:16:875]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=CA_STOPESSERVICE.A54690A6_C7B5_477D_ADAF_916A4A173FDF,Description=CA: Stopping TITUS Enterprise Settings Service...,) MSI (s) (6C:D4) [23:30:16:875]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=CA_STOPESSERVICE.A54690A6_C7B5_477D_ADAF_916A4A173FDF,ActionType=3137,Source=BinaryData,Target=StopServiceForUninstall,CustomActionData=TITUS.Enterprise.Settings.Host|) MSI (s) (6C:28) [23:30:16:937]: Invoking remote custom action.
