Hi there, Our WiX installer has the following action: <ServiceControl Id="SomeId" Name="[AgentServiceName]" Stop="both" Remove="uninstall" />
When our product is upgraded or uninstalled, the service is properly stopped by the MSI. However, if the product is reinstalled, such as when re-running the installer with the /qn flag, the product is reinstalled without the service being stopped. The StopServices action appears to be executing: MSI (s) (A4:84) [10:21:42:866]: Doing action: StopServices MSI (s) (A4:84) [10:21:42:866]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText Action ended 10:21:42: UnpublishFeatures. Return value 1. Action start 10:21:42: StopServices. MSI (s) (A4:84) [10:21:42:866]: Skipping action: DeleteServices (condition is false) MSI (s) (A4:84) [10:21:42:866]: Skipping action: UninstallDriver (condition is false) MSI (s) (A4:84) [10:21:42:866]: Doing action: RemoveFiles MSI (s) (A4:84) [10:21:42:866]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText Action ended 10:21:42: StopServices. Return value 1. How do I make the service stop during a repair?
