Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall/ServiceControl name attribute restrictions
You need to have code to remember the value of the property so it is available in uninstall and repair.

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall/ServiceControl name attribute restrictions
http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/the-wix-toolsets-remember-property-pattern/ Much appreciated, this installer at a later must support multiple instances at which point then this will all fit together, no need for a static location as I assume we can compile an extension to enumerate the instances installed at invocation time?
