Hello All,

 

I can do what I need to do using a custom action, but I am hesitating on
that route wandering if WIX has a built in mechanism for this.

 

Here is my situation:

On server 2008 I want to verify if the SSDP (Windows Service already
installer by the OS, not my own) is installed and ready to start  or already
started or simply disabled.

The service by default on S2008 is disabled, I also want to Popup a message
to the user giving him the choice to enable and start this Windows service
for the application to work, if he says NO to abort the installation.

 

>From what I read in the documentation these calls looked promising but don’t
seem to do what I need à ServiceConfig and ServiceConfigFailureActions 

 

Also ServiceControl  won’t work since this is used for a service being
installed from my installation.

 

So the question is can I do this using WIX elements or is the CustomAction
route the best way to go?

 

If I can do this using Wix elements what should I be looking at/for.

 

Thanks for the advice

Marc
