Re: [WiX-users] Same component guid, different products
One is enough, but it needs to be placed with a different GUID into every
MSI. One is enough because the StartService and StopService custom actions
are scheduled before and after installation of files. So that stop takes
effect before and start after installation. But it does need to be present
for every feature.

In that case, I think you'll have to put a new service control element
with
each component (or perhaps just each feature) that needs to restart IIS.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply. The ServiceDependency element is only applicable

Yes, the component will be reference counted. The component rules
allow the same component to be installed to several directories
simultaneously.
The service control is performed only when installing or removing the
component so it won't behave as you require.
I've never used them myself but have you tried using ServiceDependency
elements ?

Subject: [WiX-users] Same component guid, different products
Hi everyone,
We have a shared library for all our products we include during
compilation.
Now I would like to stop and start IIS during installation because
running
iis
applications can get in the way of updates. This is very easily done
with
the
fragment below.
Fragment
Component Id=CStartStop Guid={DDE4A64B-54B8-4679-A49A-
4BCE95CFF793}
Directory=FProduct
CreateFolder/
ServiceControl Id=W3SVC Name=W3SVC Start=both
Stop=both/
/Component
/Fragment
Now, if I reference this in several products, they all have the same
Guid.
Will that cause the component to be reference counted? FProduct is
different for every product. It is important this starting and
stopping is
done
every time, not just for the first product.
Thanks, Thorsten

[WiX-users] Having a reference counter for components
Hi everyone, I tried to create a shared merge module that creates a user and an application pool in IIS. The idea is that we have a number of installation packages that all share the same application pool and user. The first installed application creates the application pool and the last one deletes it. I was hoping that the merge module would allow us to track the reference count of the components because they have the same guid in each package. But what happens is that the first application that is uninstalled also deletes the application pool. So except for a custom solution the only way seems to mark the component as permanent so that it is never uninstalled. Is there any way to enable windows installer to take care of when a component needs to be uninstalled? Thanks, Thorsten -- Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App Earn a Chance To Win $500!

[WiX-users] Save information during install for the uninstaller custom action
Hi, to make the uninstall as perfect as possible I would like to save some information for the uninstaller custom action. Say if my installer custom action changes a setting then I would like the uninstaller to undo that. The problem I face at the moment is that I can only revert the setting to its default. If some user already set the setting to a different value I cannot revert to that value. I know that it can be done: The SQL extension for example can drop the table on uninstall, so it must remember the sql connection parameters. But how is that done?
