> I also don't understand why you would exclude a Dll that the service needs. I did this on purpose so that I can duplicate the problem when an installation fails. I want to see how the installation behaves when it fails. One way to do it is to exclude a required DLL for the windows service to run. By doing this, my installation fails.
>Are you saying it fails because it shows a files-in-use dialog, or it "fails" because it doesn't behave the >way you think it should? No, in this case, the installation fails because I exclude the DLL. The files-in-use dialog shows up because the installation fails. During successful installation, the files-in-use dialog does NOT show up. My question is, when the installation fails, if I select either one of the selection in the files-in-use dialog, and click OK, it did NOT roll back to the previous version. The installation left the new files in the installed folder, and also already deleted the DLL (that I purposely do not include in the installation to duplicate a failed installation). The only way to roll back to the previous version is to click Cancel.
