You'd have to extract the Binary out with the CustomAction.

I'm not sure what ALLUSERS=0 means. ALLUSERS="" means per-user which
should behave the way you want. ALLUSERS=1 is how you typically define a
per-machine install, which behaves as you describe below. ALLUSERS=0...
that's not a documented value.

Any characters in the project name that are invalid for WiX preprocessor
variable names get automatically converted to underscores. So without renaming
the project this should work:
$(var.My_Test_Project.TargetFilename)

Hi
Is there a way iw WiX to prevent downgrade with minor upgrades.
Can we write a custom action to verify and compare installed product
version. If yes, can someone suggest some Msi api's that can use in my VC++
custom action dll.
Is there any other easier way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Rajesh
Does it still do this if the "wait" value is zero? (or no). It won't start it,
but I'm wondering if it will still be catastrophic.

The condition for ConfigureIIs (the scheduling CA) is:
NOT SKIPCONFIGUREIIS AND VersionNT > 400
You could set the SKIPCONFIGUREIIS property via an immediate CA (scheduled
prior to ConfigureIIs of course) to simply skip IIS configuration when the
target host already has the website installed.

Yep. Boils up to the "Verify you have sufficient privileges to start..."

Hi Alex,
Thanks for the suggestion - we already did that and no difference.
Hey Phil - I'm wondering if ServiceControl can work on a Disabled
service, though. OP seemed to indicate the service is disabled by
default, which I see on my XP box here as being the case, too. I'm
writing a sample install that tries to start a Disabled service to see
how it reacts.

-Or
You should be able to do this with a ServiceControl element. I don't know the
WiX details, but the ServiceControl table in MSI is not directly connected to
installing that service.

You aren't installing the service so the ServiceInstall element can't be
used in this case. The fact that the service is not yours and is
disabled, in my mind, would require a custom action to enable it. Just a
hunch.

I usually experience this error when I forget where I am and try to
